first for Edgar

Schilling doesn't have HoF numbers, save for his meme strikeouts.

Edgar Martinez is half a baseball player, it's a travesty that he'll probably be a hall of famer next year

Nats desu senpai

would Eddie make the hall?

This. No DH (sorry ROIDtiz), no relief pitchers.

>mfw they kept referring to Thome as a "firstbaseman"

Puke.

>Gnats

The HoF is reserved for people who actually played baseball.

You guys are morans. How many players in the NFL HoF played both sides of the field?

I think he'll come up a little short.

And only becuase he pitched in the AL Least and meme stadiums.

ayyyyy

>dicks herpes

He pitched in the NL for 14 of his 20 years

Hitting > Fielding

Offense is the lifeblood of baseball. it's the entire reason why the deadball era died and baseball became America's pastime. It's also the reason the MLB started juicing the ball last season. If , Molitor, Thomas, and Thome can get in, so should Edgar.

That's the only position he's played apart from 3rd base early in his career

>relief pitchers in the hall of fame

Does a starting pitcher who played 20 seasons and has 216 wins deserve to be in the hall?

>rating pitchers by wins

Are the rockies any good?

Not if he's a fucking Nazi.

BASED

THOME

pretty decent last year. Only time will tell if they can do it again. NL West looks like a good division to watch this year if the jints actually perform

Did he hit a HR? That might make a case for him getting in.

We should just do home run derbies instead then

Curt Schilling played 16 years in the NL and was in 3 World Series and never hit a HR

For me, it's
Bonds
Clemens
Mussina
Schilling
Manny
Jones
Rolen
Sheffield
Halladay
Walker

>bbwaa
JUST

Hi nico
Delet Schilling

>No HR
He doesn't deserve to be in the Hall.

who's nico

Always walk the 8th batter
Always strike out the 9th
Let's call it strategy

Opinion discarded

A ha ha ha ;p

>no edgar
discarded

what if the opposing team puts their clean up hitter in the 9 spot?

walker is fucking elite shut your fucking mouth LET HIM IN REEEEEEEE

>coors babby
>mfw

He's a Schillings case. Has good numbers in one thing but meaty okra in other spots

WE /AGOD/ NOW.

Larry Walker is the definition of a stadium-dependent hitter

Home: .348/.431/.637
Away: .278/.370/.495

For reference here's Edgar Martinez' splits

Home: .311/.423/.517
Away: .312/.412/.514

A-roid*

Billy Wagner has better stats rate-wise than Hoffman in a lot of categories. Not sure he should have made it, but I feel like he should have gotten more votes.

>fighting breaks out when Alex and fatpapi discover theyre down to their last pill

>nipscribbles
So does Harvey make his long awaited and predicted 'comeback' this season?
*cackles*

I got into baseball at age 9 during 2003 season. I lived in Chicago so I watched the Cubs mostly. My favorite players of all time are Mark Prior, Matt Clement, and Paul Bako. Am I a pleb?

>2003 was 26 years ago

youtube.com/watch?v=PY5s22deh7A

it will happen

Player A: .303/.401/.529

Player B: .312/.418/.515

Now post their home ballparks.

He'll probably start some games.

Now post the positions they played in the field

Neither of them played in Coors or the AL East if that's what you're asking

But will he return to elite status?

Edgar Martinez played in the field in only 25% of his games.

If a pitcher had stats like that, would they get into the HoF?

yes, and?

how likely is it that brycey boy goes to a real city instead of boystown?

0% he goes to NY. The yaks don't need him and the >mest are too cheap to sign him. I'm guessing Dodgers.

If DH's shouldn't be in the Hall, does that mean, by definition, every HoF pitcher that pitched in the AL between 1973 and now should be disqualified as well? Because, by the pundit's logic, they only played half their position too.

And only actual baseball players get to the Hall.

What team do Chipper, Hoffman, Thome, and Vlad go in with?

Vlad probably goes with the angels

Chipper Im guessing the braves

So like Designated Hitter, which is an actual position in baseball?

I'd be fine with "serviceable 4th starter status" at this point.

Braves, Padres, Indians, Expos

...

I think that would be pushing it at this point.

Chipper Braves obviously
Hoffman Padres
Thome Indians
Vlad is interesting because statistically his best seasons were in montreal but his mvp season was in LA

Chipper Braves
Hoffman Padres
Thome Indians
Vlad Orioles

Sounds far, kick them all out.

Only in the baby league. In the men's league you bat and play on the field.

Braves
Dads
Indians
I think he might go in as an Angel to be the first Angel in the HoF

Edgar can get in to The Half Baseball Hall of Fame.

t. faggot who never actually played baseball

t. ninny league

Its absurd that jeff kent gets no respect. The best second basemen of a generation and better than ryno and others in the hall

Is your fanbase strong enough to outlast this guy?

absolutely SEETHING

When Miggy goes in the HoF is he going in as a Marlin or say maybe he gets a Beltran on the Astros kind of gig and he gets another ring in the twilight/end of his career and goes in with whoever that team is ?

easily

How were you able to get a picture of BAJP?

Clearly he's Soxman.

Trip on fatboy

how did you get the most rent free space in lifelongs' heads? I can only dream of getting 5+ (You)'s with every post

This year's HoF selections couldn't have gone any better. Nobody undeserving got in.

Bums out, pros in. Nobody can argue this one.

>hoffman
>thome

>Better than Ryno
LaughingAnimeGirls.gif

also Jack Morris

look at the numbers it isnt even close

Cleary not good enough for the Hall. :3

Next year the only first ballot lock is Mariano Rivera. How the hell are we gonna keep out B*nds and Cl*m*ns?

so no AL pitcher is allowed in the hall?

Remind everyone they used steroids.

>B*nds and Cl*m*ns
No real fan of the sport could bring themselves to vote for these cheaters.

MARINERS!
EDGAR!

Dodgers choke in the postseason
