Raines, Morris, and the HOF

So why aren't Molitor, Jenkins and Cepeda in violation of this criteria? >>




Not to be a smart arse...but that is something you should ask the voters! That would be a good question to them...because it is indeed one of their inconsistencies(of many inconsistencies).

My personal preference is I don't care either way, and wouldn't hold it against any of them...unless they were dealing to kids or something(which they weren't).

Brock received votes for MVP 10 different seasons, Biggio 4.

<< <i>You know runs scored like RBI are a team result .

Only one top 10 in OBP shows he wasn't particularly adept at getting on base and he got caught stealing nearly 1/3 of the time. He's like Biggio in that he just hung around forever but was never a high level player among his peers. >>



Biggio was absolutely a high level player from 94 through 99. His three years as a catcher and first two years as a second baseman before that was close to All Star level. Then he was still above average every year from 2000 through 05. He hung around forever because he was still a good player.

That is nothing like what Brock did -- clearly far below Raines

Brock top 5 MVP just once, and four top 10 finishes hardly screams the dominance that is supposed to be a hall of famer.

He had a nice career but in my book not the dominance that is a hall of famer.

He was not. He went to rehab at a very early age. He had no known relapse.
