Adrian Beltre … not a lock
Chase Utley …not a lock
Joe Mauer and David Wright … easy locks for 1st ballot.

He might be right about 1 (Utley) and that’s iffy.

Beltre is a slam dunk.
Wright shouldn’t get in (maybe ever) - definetly not from the same voters who didn’t put Don Mattingly in.
Utley is a forgotten guy with 65 War so he will get in but likely year 2-3.
Mauer will get in but probably not year 1 given he tailed off so much quickly.

Speaking of the Hall, there's more than 4,500 homers represented at this table. -- (edited) - spamlet Jul 25, 11:12 [Image] 3
- I figured out it was Larry Walker after a bit yesterday -- McGriff, I wouldn't have gotten without having seen him give a speech this weekend. - Will Hunting Jul 25, 11:37
- I saw that yesterday and had no clue that was Fred McGriff. He needs to grow that glorious mustache back. -- nm - Krusty Jul 25, 11:16 1
  - He was the one I couldn't figure out either. A stickied comment helped :) -- nm - spamlet Jul 25, 11:23
If Mauer makes it in, then certainly McCann would also? -- nm - Strongbad Jul 25, 10:26 1
- No chance. McCann has like 60% the career WAR of Mauer. 33 vs 55. - Will Hunting 🍔🍟🍔🍹🍷 Jul 25, 10:38
No Todd Helton? -- nm - Flavorize Jul 25, 10:23 1
- He’s talking new guys. -- nm - Will Hunting 🍔🍟🍔🍹🍷 Jul 25, 10:37
Still one of my favorite headlines ever: Jayson Werth is NOT sleeping with Chase Utley's Wife -- nm - David Jul 25, 10:19 1
- Her loss. -- nm - Jayson Werth Jul 25, 10:42
Wright was certainly on pace but this his body quit on him, which always depresses me. -- nm - Tim Jul 25, 10:11 1
- Right…he’s a woulda but… - Will Hunting 🍔🍟🍔🍹🍷 Jul 25, 10:40
