Thumbs down, and an entirely different finger up (to Jeter and the Yankees, not to you). JK

I read today >that he just got his ninth straight 200 hits, no one >has done that before apparently. As of what's showing on baseball Reference as I write this, Ichiro's still got 2251 more to go to catch up to Pete. Think about that. A guy could get 200 hits a year for twenty years in a row and he still wouldn't quite have caught Pete. That's an astounding number of hits. When Suzuki catches Rose - if he ever does - I'll probably throw my cane, my walker, my Geritol, my Ex-Lax, and anything else that's handy at the screen when he gets #4257. JK
From: john smith on 15 Sep 2009 13:30 Derek Jeter= Barry Larkin less the injuries, range and can't forget the Worldd Series(4 Rings as oppposed to 1 Larkin ring).... If Larkin had played for the Yanks he would be considered a lock hall of famer. He will be lucky to get in IMO. Definitely won't be in there on first ballot....

You should be arguing Davey to the HOF. He had more range than either of them.

For one thing, I think that the voters will take a hard look at players from the roid era, and will be looking for excellent players who dont have ties to PED's. Thats Barry (knock on wood). Also, there is a small shift that appears to be happening in the mindset of the writers. I'm reading more often about things like OBP and OPS. They seem less fixated on RBI total and the younger ones are more inclined to look at advanced analysis. I do agree that he is unlikely to get in on the first ballot. |
