I'm a high-peak guy so that pushes King Felix, Tulo & Hamels over, barely. I could take them, Wright & Utley off and be fine.

What is the deal with Colon? I never even put a thought into him as a HOFer. Is it his 250 win total (which is impressive in today's game). I don't remember ever thinking Colon was dominant in any way. Soria - really? No way he even gets the 5% to stay on ballet.
2024 ELIGIBLES ADRIÁN BELTRÉ - IN BARTOLO COLON - I guess he stays on ballet?? MATT HOLLIDAY - would like to him stay on ballet, but I don't think he is a HOFer JOE MAUER - IN, won't be first ballot CHASE UTLEY - I think he stays on ballet and will be a slow riser, toss up. DAVID WRIGHT - maybe he gets one year sympathy reprieve, but probably not 2025 ELIGIBLES CURTIS GRANDERSON - just wanted to say one my fav players, won't get it FÉLIX HERNÁNDEZ - will stay on ballet, writers would need to reward short peak CC SABATHIA - IN ICHIRO SUZUKI - IN TROY TULOWITZKI - similar to Wright 2026 ELIGIBLES COLE HAMELS - will stay on ballet and get a long look. 2027 ELIGIBLES BUSTER POSEY - Gets in, not on first ballet 2028 ELIGIBLES YADIER MOLINA - IN ALBERT PUJOLS - IN |

The Hall of Stats has Mauer at 10th all time catcher, Posey is at 17 in comparison. And they have him at 185 all time MLB. Don't see how he would not be in the Hall of Fame. Plus the guy played with the Twins his whole career, grew up in the Twin Cities, had to show off and have twin children, and he gets to purify himself in the waters of lake Minnetonka everyday (okay maybe not in winter).

For Lester, I think you're severely underestimating what winning 2 WS with the Red Sox + being the ace on the WS winning Cubs will do in the minds of voters. Between that and his beating cancer early in his career... yeah, he's very likely to get in.

Agree with Colon. I don’t see anyway he’s close to getting in. A 4.12 life time ERA… which is a decent bit higher than Jack Morris (the easy low hanging fruit to compare to). If you look at his ERA with each team he played for 9 of 11 are 3.90 and above. It’s not like he held on too long and did real damage to his overall ERA. His lowest ERA with any team came with the A’s at age 39 and 40 with an ERA of 2.99 and coincidentally this is when he received a 50 game PED suspension for synthetic testosterone.
These days it seems Colon is most remembered for hitting a hefty guy who hit his first career home run at age 42. It just doesn’t have the same cred as throwing a 10 inning shut out of game 7 of a World Series, especially after already serving a PED suspension. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I'd drop Utley, but otherwise this looks about like my list.

At this point he is likely the only player that was on the 2016 W.S. roster that has a legit case for the HOF. He definitely has a much better case than Colon.

These are my takes as a baseball fan. Obviously means nothing, but just how I see it.
2024 ELIGIBLES JOSÉ BAUTISTA - stays on ballot for a few years then quietly falls off. Maybe a veteran’s committee entrance at some point. ADRIÁN BELTRÉ - IN BARTOLO COLON - will get enough to stay on because of longevity and how likable he was, just not dominate enough to actually get in. ADRIÁN GONZÁLEZ - doesn’t stay on the ballot MATT HOLLIDAY - Cardinal HOF, not baseball. JIM JOHNSON - nope VICTOR MARTINEZ - nope JOE MAUER - yep. One of the best wearers of the tools of ignorance. Obviously injury cut his time short behind the plate, but he was dominate back there and had a rare bat for a catcher. The whole career with one team in a city that loves him. BRANDON PHILLIPS - close for me, but no. JOSÉ REYES - nope JAMES SHIELDS - nope CHASE UTLEY - I think he will get in after a few years. DAVID WRIGHT - I really wish he would, but again injury plagued and I think he just misses it. He was so great for a period of time and again like Mauer, played in a city that loves him and always will. BRAD ZIEGLER - nope 2025 ELIGIBLES MELKY CABRERA - no, just no. DAVID FREESE - close but no. CARLOS GÓMEZ - nope CARLOS GONZÁLEZ - nope CURTIS GRANDERSON - nope FÉLIX HERNÁNDEZ - I think so, but may be close and take a few years. EDWIN JACKSON - nope ADAM JONES - nope IAN KINSLER - nope FRANCISCO LIRIANO - nope RUSSELL MARTIN - nope BRIAN MCCANN - nope KENDRYS MORALES - nope DUSTIN PEDROIA - nope MARTÍN PRADO - nope HANLEY RAMÍREZ - no MARK REYNOLDS - nope FERNANDO RODNEY - nope CC SABATHIA - should get in ICHIRO SUZUKI - is there any question??? TROY TULOWITZKI - nope BEN ZOBRIST - nope 2026 ELIGIBLES RYAN BRAUN - absolutely not SHIN-SOO CHOO - nope EDWIN ENCARNACIÓN - nope GIO GONZÁLEZ - nope ALEX GORDON - nope COLE HAMELS - I’m close here, but think no MATT KEMP - nope HOWIE KENDRICK - nope NICK MARKAKIS - nope DANIEL MURPHY - nope HUNTER PENCE - nope RICK PORCELLO - nope NEIL WALKER - nope 2027 ELIGIBLES JAKE ARRIETA - thinking no JAY BRUCE - no WADE DAVIS - nope DEXTER FOWLER - nope TODD FRAZIER - nope J.A. HAPP - nope JON LESTER - maybe, but not for me ANDREW MILLER - nope MITCH MORELAND - nope BUSTER POSEY - yes KYLE SEAGER - nope JOAKIM SORIA - nope RYAN ZIMMERMAN - nope JORDAN ZIMMERMANN - nope 2028 ELIGIBLES LORENZO CAIN - nope BROCK HOLT - nope DARREN O'DAY - nope YADIER MOLINA - yep ALBERT PUJOLS - could we get another unanimous? KURT SUZUKI - love the guy, but thinking no. STEPHEN VOGT - nope

They would be among the very worst if elected. And Bautista would have a case as the least-deserving HOFer.

1st Ballot Locks:
ADRIÁN BELTRÉ ICHIRO SUZUKI ALBERT PUJOLS Probably eventually : CC SABATHIA YADIER MOLINA (has good longevity, solid WAR, not quite the offensive numbers but I think he makes it in) Maybe, has a chance but I can't say for sure : BARTOLO COLON FÉLIX HERNÁNDEZ BUSTER POSEY (I don't see him as certain as others say he is, longevity issue and didn't put up gaudy numbers) JOE MAUER (another longevity issue, injured so much) |

There is no way Colon is a HOFer. His ERA would be inexcusible, and his wins total is a result of him playing for 21 years. Also, for having played that long, he should have way more than 2,500 Ks to be taken seriously as a HOFer.

I also look who they are going up against too. If its a weaker class and guys got in already who could steal votes then they could slide into the HOF

Bartolo Colon has exactly zero chance of making the Hall of Fame. An E.R.A. of 4.14 and a steroid suspension make his candidacy a non-starter.

Forgot about his steroid suspension that makes it zero chance for him to get in. But stat wise, he's really not that far off from Jack Morris who eventually made it in.

Yea I actually forgot about the steroid suspension as well. I was going with my gut on Colon (pun intended) more from longevity/likability than dominance. It’s not just a numbers game. I’m legitimately surprised by people that are doubting Yadi’s induction. If he’s not a hall of famer then defense means absolutely nothing. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
