Bad Ballot? Dan Gelston, a Philly sportswriter for AP, says "Hold my cheesesteak."metsmarathon wrote: ↑Thu Dec 21, 2023 2:24 pm As possibly the only guy to not vote for beltre, his argument against him is, “meh”.
Like, no further explanation.
What. The. Actual. Fuck.
He’s all mister small-hall. Sure. Then don’t vote for Ortiz. And don’t bitch that PEDs are keeping out the best of the sawx players either.
Ugh. Beltre is a much better player than Ortiz, manny, Jeter. More complete. More counting.
6th best 3b ever vs 14th, using bWAR’s jaws.
Jetes needs a hell of an aura and mystique boost to climb over that, but Beltre isn’t worthy? Please.
Comparing manny to Beltre would be equally unfair. Unless all you look at is home runs.
Ugh.
The least you could do is explain yourself!
Beltre
Jimmy Rollins
Chase Utley
And that's it.
Somebody remind him that Wagner pitched for the Phillies.

More curious is that he somehow overlooked Abreu.Bob Alpacadaca wrote: ↑Fri Dec 22, 2023 1:33 pmBad Ballot? Dan Gelston, a Philly sportswriter for AP, says "Hold my cheesesteak."

Hey, welcome to the money, K-Rod! In your FACE, Matt Holliday!!
Re: Ten Mets on the Ballot (Hall of Fame 2024)
I don't get the Andruw Jones or Bobby Abreu love from all the voters who let Kenny Lofton and Jim Edmonds sink off the ballot so fast.
Re: Ten Mets on the Ballot (Hall of Fame 2024)
Andruw Jones had annual post-season exposure which included constant plotzing over his defensive abilities. He had ten Gold Gloves and Lofton had three. And voters freqnetly tend to (consciously or unconsciously) consider those in a binary manner, as if there's the Gold Glove winner and everybody else.
But yeah, I'd take Kenny Lofton if given a choice between the two. He had a career like Tim Raines, only not quite as Tim Rainesy.
