so e. martinez isnt going to get in the HOF cause of the whole DH thing. but I bet Ortiz will

Posted by Truman Jan 6 '16, 15:29

when he comes up in the future (after retirement, yadayada).

and everyone not voting for martinez, cause of the DH, will talk about how great Ortiz was as a DH.

Responses:

Ortiz has, like, 200 more home runs than Edgar. -- nm - ML Jan 6, 15:31 22
- Lower batting average, lower OBP, lower OPS, lower OPS+. -- nm - David Jan 6, 16:18 16
  - Marginal differences in everything but BA, and Ortiz will have 250 more homers by the time he's done. - ML Galaxy Jan 6, 16:21 6
    - You're right. Edgar did it clean. -- nm - David Jan 6, 16:22 5
      - In your haste to move your target, you must have missed my post below. -- nm - ML Galaxy Jan 6, 16:25 4
        
        Move what target? I said Edgar's better. - David Jan 6, 16:27 3
        
        OK. -- nm - ML Galaxy Jan 6, 16:34 2
        
        you're learning. -- nm - Gullible SW Fan Mel Jan 6, 17:00 1
        
        You've got me confused with groiny. - ML Galaxy Jan 6, 17:17
  - If Edgar had played 500 more games, he's in probably. - Will Hunting Jan 6, 16:19 8
    - He's going to get in. The only question is whether metrics votes catch up or if he waits for the Veterans Committee. - David Jan 6, 16:22 7
      - He'd have to die first on a veterans' vote. -- nm - nic to be named later Jan 6, 16:32
      - He gained 40 votes after a year with 4 inductees. Let's hold off on the champagne - Will Hunting Jan 6, 16:25 5
        
        Doesn't matter if it happens now or later. Smarter baseball people are starting to think about the issue and vote accordingly. -- nm - David Jan 6, 16:26 4
        
        You think the Veterans who played the whole game are going to welcome him easily? -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 6, 16:33 3
        
        I'm already gloating. -- nm - Davi Jan 6, 16:38 2
        
        If it happens, it'll be at least 20 years since this started and you'll still think Babe Ruth is overrated so - Will Hunting Jan 6, 16:56 1
        
        Right?! -- nm - Davi Jan 6, 17:16
- Edgar was not even "the man" on his own teams. nm -- nm - Groindo (Green lives matter) Jan 6, 15:33 4
  - Then kick out Lou Gehrig. - David Jan 6, 16:18
  - He was here in Seattle, revered -- nm - General Zeit Jan 6, 15:41 1
    - He was popular. He wasn't Griffey or ARod or even Ichiro. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 6, 15:58
  - There are 27 guys with more than 500 HRs. Here is the complete list of eligible non-PED guys who haven't gotten in: -- (edited) - ML Jan 6, 15:40
Ortiz will have a tough time given the PED allegtaions, but he also is a .285 hitter with over 500 homers. - Will Hunting Jan 6, 15:31 1
- and he did not win any MVP awards. nm -- nm - Groindo (Green lives matter) Jan 6, 15:31
Well, Frank Thomas is in, so there is that. -- nm - Groindo (Green lives matter) Jan 6, 15:30
