Pinella just missed by one vote. As I've said before, I wish they would distinguish whether someone is being voted in as a player or manager, though. Lou is legit as a manager, but not as a player. Much like Joe Torre.

I agree, but I will admit -- and I hate this argument -- that if you pull up a list of all-time RBI leaders, just about everyone above and below Baines is in the Hall, minus drug users and current players. Same for hits. I can at least see the arguments. I just disagree....

Phrase stolen from discussion on another site on this topic, he belongs in the "Hall of He Played A Long Time".

Grew up watching Baines, never got the sense I was watching a HOFer. I feel the standing of the Hall took a little hit today. Trash him all you want, but Steinbrenner should be in someday.

For me, each year brings a new level of disappointment in the type of players granted membership in baseball's Hall of Fame.

I grew up a Texas Rangers fan. Still remember the Baines for Sosa trade and how Baines never acted like he wanted to be in Texas. Not a fan.
He might have been a solid DH and a quality player most of his career, but HOF quality? Nah.

Turning off trading because my collection is in complete disarray after moving and I don't know when I can get it organized. |

The Hall needs to take a serious look at who is voting.
