PhatMack19 Posted January 5, 2011 Report Posted January 5, 2011 Bagwell is up for the 1st time. Does he get in?
PhatMack19 Posted January 5, 2011 Author Report Posted January 5, 2011 I don't think there is anyway he gets in on the 1st ballot. The voters have been tough on the guys with the steroid cloud on their name. His numbers don't really compare with some of the other HR hitters of his era.Career stats- 15 years.297 ba 2,314 hits 449 Hrs 1,529 rbis
Ruckdad Posted January 5, 2011 Report Posted January 5, 2011 I think he gets in - but not on the first ballot. Would be nice for he and Biggio to go at the same time.
PhatMack19 Posted January 5, 2011 Author Report Posted January 5, 2011 Bert Blyleven and Roberto Alomar were the only 2 inductees.
AJ25 Posted January 5, 2011 Report Posted January 5, 2011 I bet Bagwell gets it in the next couple of years.I'm interested to see if McGuire's Vote % went up this year.
PhatMack19 Posted January 5, 2011 Author Report Posted January 5, 2011 Palmero, McGwire, and Bagwell all got less than 50%. The voters have penalized the "suspected" steroid guys.

It sucks for a guy like Bagwell when there is no proof that he ever used, but he still gets penalized.
PhatMack19 Posted January 5, 2011 Author Report Posted January 5, 2011 Palmero is one of 4 players EVER with 3,000 hits and 500 Hrs and he only gets 11%! This HOF voting is turning into a joke. I believe most of the players from that era were "using" something, take the best players and move on.

They were just voted in before all this stuff started. Palmero is a hall of famer with or without the roids. And he's a real nice guy, lucky enough to meet him last year when we played his kid. His kid definitely wasn't a chip off the old block; maybe he should find the juice. ;)
