What I Learned About Baseball Today

[Jello]

Just off hand when I hear the name Johnny Damon, I can't believe he could ever get into the H of F even with 3000! IMO Biggio was a better player!

Last I heard Jamie Moyer was going to continue pitching till he gets 300 wins! Guy in the back of his mind thinks he will get into the Hall by reaching that number! Unreal!

At least Moyer had 5 or 6 years where he was the best pitcher on his own team, which is more than you can say about Damon as a hitter. Moyer finished in the top 6 for Cy Young three times in his career, which is way more than you can say about Damon and the MVP... the highest he ever finished was 13th.

Think about that for a second. The highest Damon was ever considered in a particular season was the 13th most valuable player in the American League. Biggio has a 4th and 5th place finish to his credit, also a 10th and 12th (and 16th) fwiw.

So Johnny Damon is going to be a HOF'er? Wow that's pretty cool.

seems like 300 wins has not even been as strong a garuntee as 3000 hits has been..

wait, Moyer didn't throw a pitch this year... WTF?

seriously though IF moyer was HOF Worthy, that 1988 Cubs team had more Potential HOF-ers on a team in my lifetime than any I can remember in recent history..

Gossage Grace

Sandberg by the way

 

[reno cool]

oh yeah, Grace,

 

[Archie]

oh yeah, Grace,

and I don't think he deserves the HOF either. so he and Moyer are just guys in the "conversation"

but Goose is already in and rightfully so. I just remember watching him pitch alot on WGN that year, but most people forget he had a stint with the Cubbies

What's this about Biggio not getting into the HOF? He's not even eligible until 2013.

He will get in.

 

[FairWarning]

the only players not in the HOF with 3,000 hits

Palmerio
Biggio
Jeter
Rose

seems like if you hit that milestone, you have a really good chance of getting in

Palmeiro will not get in for a long time because of the roids.

I blame kato for this confusion.

Do you think Johnny Damon is a Hall of Famer?

i blame myself as well

 

[Archie]

I don't think anyone ever said Biggio wouldn't get in.......

although I think that its pretty safe to assume that Biggio was juicing in his prime...

 

[fiveteamer]

If Biggio gets in with 3000 how the FUCK wouldn't Damon?

 

[Jello]

Teamer, please don't do this to me again today.

 

[Archie]

Biggio was better than Damon in many ways

Fiver you are out of your element here

go study boner's horse races

 

[FairWarning]

If Biggio gets in with 3000 how the FUCK wouldn't Damon?

3000 hits shouldn't be the reason Biggio gets in. Damon has a lot of good years, no great ones.

 

[Archie]

Let's just throw this in the mix...

Jeff Bagwell? should he get in?
