    I voted without really looking anyone up....if i had a vote i would be more serious about it, but Alomar i was on the fence about. I voted Blyleven, Larkin, McGwire, Raines, and the Hawk.

    Alomar I think I would actually vote for.

    If Jack Morris made it, he'd have a serious argument for the honor of "Worst Pitcher in the Hall of Fame."

    Yeah, I know his career stats arent very good, and based on arguments I have seen here in the past makes me unsure of whether to get a guy into a Hall based on postseason performances.

    I used to buy into playoff performances, not so much anymore.

    The thing with Morris is that he doesn't even have a particularly great postseason record. He has that one amazing game. That's it. Without that ONE single game, nobody would talk about him as a great postseason pitcher, because, outside of that, he wasn't anything special.


    And I don't think any postseason performance could push a slightly above-average innings eater from the realm of "very good" to "Hall of Famer."

    To be honest his playoff record isn't very good either. He had that one great series in '91 and everyone remembers that.

    I voted for Morris as well. I also voted for Mattingly and Mcgriff which set me apart from most people....

    Fair enough. The arguments you two have made is why I didnt place a vote for him, I was just kind of wondering about him thats all.

    I'd consider Morris once someone explains the difference between this guy and Morris.

    Technically Morris seemed to average more innings per season, but yeah I see your point. Hall of very good.

    Re: This year's Hall of Fame Ballot

    Voted for the usual suspects - Alomar, Blyleven, Larkin, McGwire and Raines. But I must say that I am truly indifferent on almost all of them. I think Alomar and McGwire should get in without much question - though McGwire won't and Alomar might have trouble as well. Too much has already been said about Blyleven. And neither Raines nor Larkin are locks in my mind. So if I was voting on some other day, it might have just been Alomar and McGwire. Edgar and Trammell are probably the only two worth discussing further.

    I guess I voted for him, even though I don't remember doing so? I also thought I voted for Tim Raines, but I didn't.
