If DMT didn't exist we would have to invent it. There has to be a weirdest thing. Once we have the concept weird, there has to be a weirdest thing. And DMT is simply it.

He seems like the type who will play to age 44-45.

Originally posted by revo View PostI'm starting to think he's a borderline HOF candidate. It's too bad he got a late start to his MLB career, because he's be a slam dunk one if he had a full-time gig prior to age 28.

Originally posted by chancellor View PostThat was my first thought, but I don't get the impression he's viewed anywhere near in the same lens as a Bonds, Palmiero, or Clemens. I think his bigger challenge will be the DH issue.

Originally posted by chancellor View PostCould be. I still think there's a lot of voters who take that into consideration. Plus, his lack of defense drops his WAR, right? There's a number of voters who use WAR as a guide also.
Big Papi’s career WAR is 55.3.

Cruz is many lightyears away from HoF consideration, in my mind. Not even close. Not even with three more years' production. Ortiz shouldn't get in, either, and his credentials far exceed Nelson's. Is Ortiz generally considered to be a first ballot guy? Christ, no freakin' way!More American children die by gunfire in a year than on-duty police officers and active duty military.

As far as Big Papi, most of the HOF monitor stats have him easily as a HOFer. I think if you take his post-season stats into account, he’s a slam dunk HOFer.

I guess Ortiz suffices for the "famous" portion of the Hall of Fame, but obvious exceptions like Harold "how the F did you get in here?" Baines aside, he shouldn't even be close to a first ballot guy when Edgar Martinez barely squeaks in on the last ballot. Plus, Ortiz was a cheater on top of it all --- and right during his best statistical season, if I recall, too. He's very far from a slam dunk in my book, that's for sure. Nelson Cruz remains far from a blindfolded half court shot.More American children die by gunfire in a year than on-duty police officers and active duty military.
