Was Lee Smith more dominant than Goose Gossage? If the answer is yes, then he’s in. If the answer is no, than he’s not in. It took Goose a long time to get in.

The only two frist time Hall of Famers in my mind are Rivera and Hoffman.

While he was clutch in 2 World Series, his whole body of work is not a good as some other who have yet to get in the Hall of Fame.

Who are the first timers for next year anyway.

Morris – Next year maybe, clutch pitcher in big games

If he had any offense backing him up in the LATE 60′S, he’d be a 310-game winner. If he doesn’t get in, the people like Smoltz & Mussina have no business being in. The man is 4th all time in K’s won 287 games on terrible Twins teams. How do you go 13-11 with an ERA in the low 2′s.

McGwire is a Hall of Famer, but we’re not here to talk about the past.

First off, too many good but not great players get in, but that’s not my biggest gripe.

I don’t exactly understand how the whole system works but what I do know is that players are elgible for a certain number of years. Goose Gossage, I believe, was voted in during his last year of eligibility. This is the last year of eligibility for Jim Rice and it is assumed he will be voted in as a result.

By voting in players only because it is their last year of eligibility, it creates a mathematical conundrum concerning more deserving players. Though it will take some time to develop, the forcing of these more deserving players into future years of voting will eventually create a bottleneck in which some of the more deserving players are left in the cold. In addition, it would be to a players’ advantage to not have his last year of eligibility coincide with a year that there are a lot of first ballot HOF’ers.

There may be somthing I’m missing here, so if there’s anybody out there that I didn’t just confuse the hell out of, I’d lover your input.

Though we’ll see what direction the voters head with McGwire on the steroids.

Dale Murphy and Lee Smith are very deserving and should get in.

What happens with McGwire will be the most interesting thing about this class. -Aaron

He had an obvious anti-Philly agenda. (And he is not even close to a hof’er.)
