3arl Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Biggio for sure and maybe Bagwell. Hoping I can be a proud Astro for one day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paintedinexile Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 I really hope Jack Morris gets in. This is his last year of eligibility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 I think the only player who has a chance at first ballot HOF this year is Greg Maddux Ive always kind of hoped that Maddux, Glavine and Smoltz would all get elected into the HOF together Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyacrash Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Ive always kind of hoped that Maddux, Glavine and Smoltz would all get elected into the HOF together that would be pretty cool. I'm sure some voters might feel that way too and vote for Glavine and Maddux this year together. Smoltz won't be on the ballot til next year though, and like I said I'm betting Maddux gets in first time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemongoat Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Maddox is going to be close to unanimous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paintedinexile Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 He should be unanimous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebiglebowski Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 98.84% is the highest anyone has gotten, hitter or pitcher. It was Tom Seaver. If anyone has a chance to go unanimous, it would be Mo. Just a feeling. Only takes one dude from Bean Town to vote against him, though.

lemongoat Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Rickey Henderson only got 95%. I'm trying to find an article I remember reading about a guy that didn't vote for him, and the garbage players he did vote for. Aaron Sele got a vote last year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemongoat Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 I really hope Jack Morris gets in. This is his last year of eligibility. Saw this tweet today - To "catch" Morris in ERA, David Cone would have to throw 925 IP with a 5.53 ERA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 I don't think Glavine or Smoltz will be first ballot Glavine has 300 wins and 2600 K's smoltz has 200 wins and 150 saves with 3,000 Ks they'll both be 1st ballot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemongoat Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Glavine has 300 wins and 2600 K's smoltz has 200 wins and 150 saves with 3,000 Ks they'll both be 1st ballot There have been 15 1st ballot guys in the last 20 years. I don't think either one is that level of elite. I will say, the steroid era throws the whole thing off. A guy like Glavine who has never had that stigma could potentially receive extra votes because of that fact Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

travis Posted December 3, 2013 Author Share Posted December 3, 2013 Pretty surprised Kazmir got more than 1 year and really surprised someone is giving him $22M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemongoat Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Over 9 Ks, under 3 walks and his best average fastball velocity, 92.5, since 2005. And while one would worry about him breaking down, he actually got better as the year went on. In a climate of ridiculous deals for SP's, this is a pretty good one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebiglebowski Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Going to guess Smyly to the rotation, Clippard comes back to take the situational lefty role. Maybe another piece too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 The Nationals have acquired starter Doug Fister from the Tigers, a source tells Chris Cotillo of MLBDailyDish.com (via Twitter). Going back to Detroit in the deal will be second baseman Steve Lombardozzi, lefty Ian Krol, and a prospect, tweets Jim Bowden of ESPN.com. Cotillo previously noted that Lombardozzi was likely part of the deal, and also tweeted that 22-year-old, left-handed pitching prospect Robbie Ray was probably headed to Detroit.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 8:33pm: The Tigers have officially announced the deal, which will send Fister to the Nationals in exchange for Lombardozzi, Krol, and Ray. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebiglebowski Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Don't like it. If they were going to move a starter for prospects, move Scherzer! He's not going to repeat last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Interesting comparison below between David Price and Doug Fister over the past three years from Fangraphs.
