In response to "Harold Baines was elected to the HOF? *smh* If he gets in then I have a long list of guys that should get in but being very good shouldn't be enough." by Krusty

Baines isn't anywhere close to being qualified with his stats. It's not about him being a DH but about him not being one of the best - Krusty Dec 10, 08:31 9
- to be fair, he started in 83 before the roids kicked in - groiny Dec 10, 08:34 3
  - He was a very good hitter. I'm not trying to say he was garbage. But his numbers aren't hall worthy. -- nm - Krusty Dec 10, 08:38 2
    - I don't disagree, but I also don't think it is rage worthy. -- nm - groiny Dec 10, 08:39 1
      - Agreed. I'm not looking to fight about it but I do enjoy the discussion. -- nm - Krusty Dec 10, 08:41
- If he had started his career in 1990 instead of 1980, he'd have 500 HR, and an over 900 OPS. He's a lot better than you think he is. -- nm - Inigo Dec 10, 08:33 3
  - But he didn't and his numbers aren't good enough to be in the hall. I saw him play and he was good but not one of the best of his time. - Krusty Dec 10, 08:36 2
    - I think he's just below Murray, Schmidt, Murphy for that era of power hitter. YMMV. -- nm - Inigo Dec 10, 08:42 1
      - I don't see that comparison. Baines need a lot of years to get the numbers he has. -- nm - Krusty Dec 10, 09:41
- highest % from the writers was 6.1%. I'm only 6.1% from being in the MLB HOF too! -- nm - Beaker Dec 10, 08:32
