Any thoughts on who belongs from this years ballot and who does not? We got 3 on the top of the list in Bruce Sutter, Wade Boggs and Ryne Sandberg.
Boggs......3000+ career hits is a first ballot inductee if history is any indicator. I think he belongs in there. Sutter...I am pretty sure that he retired leading in saves all time and was the first reliever with over 300 saves for a career.....played with some good teams, dominated as a reliever in his era.....I think he is in.
Sandberg....1984 MVP...great power hitting second baseman...also dominated at his position in his era and has been passed over 3 times already....I think this is his time and he belongs in there.
Darkhorse and belongs in in my opinion....Jim Rice....been passed over 10 times already and he WAS the most feared hitter of his era.....16 seasons, .298 career avg. 382 career homers....1978 MVP award winner....he has better than Cepeda numbers and he is in.
I know MikeP is out there lurking somewhere!
