- Frank Thomas was inducted into the HoF by the game and so we did not need to vote on him.
- Please try to refrain from mentioning who you vote for so as not to influence others.

They were borderline for us, and if they get enough mentions on the boards we'll include them for 2010.

Guys like Knoblauch and Smiley rank high in a couple of categories you wouldn't expect.

Sometimes I think people get too caught up in comparing the guys on the list.

Giambi is 6th in career OPS, that deseves a vote...career ender fucked him up though

Nomar Garciaparra: "Records were meant to be broken, what the Boston franchise did to Holliday's chance at my hits record is despicable, and makes me question the leadership at the helm. Trading for a player to bench him when he had a chance at history is wrong, and I no longer feel like I can associate with the Red Sox in any way. I'll be throwing all support behind Florida until there is a GM change in Boston."

Id say Castilla (6 AS selections, even with the Colorado affect, is big), Giambi, Rhodes probably deserve a vote.

My argument against him was the fact that his entire career has happened in BBSBL and he only amassed like 280 homers - which isn't Hall worthy. Whereas most of these guys have played only half or even a third here so it's a little different.

I thought you were one of the major proponents of this is the BBSBL hall of fame, why does them having a career pre here matter?

I am. 280 homers shouldn't be enough to get into the Hall when you're whole career was played in BBSBL.
