Absolutely. One of the best of his era, if not the best.

I'm sorry but in what world is Jamie Moyer an HOF'er? Pitching until you're 100, while impressive doesn't get you in if the rest of your stats are extremely mediocre.

Schilling is a tough one. While he was never in the super elite, he was really good for a long time and his W-L record probably doesn't do him justice. I'm inclined to say no, but I wouldn't be horribly upset if he got in.

No and I don't really see how it's really even all that close.

If McCann can keep it up then I say yes. He's been pretty consistent and his career numbers will look pretty great for being a catcher.

Like Rollins, he had a good shot but I don't see it happening now. They can both get it on track but they'd need to turn back the clock. Utley has a better shot I'll say.

Impossible to say now. Yes if he continues to roll and if he gets on a better team, because like it or not wins factor in. Not saying they necessarily should, but we all know they do.

This one's tough for me, but I'm leaning towards yes. He was overshadowed by the greatest lead-off hitter of all-time but he was excellent in his own right.

Kenny Lofton

He's in my HOF. He's got 11 gold gloves but he should have twice as many. The sickest fielder I've ever seen. I'd say his offense isn't bad enough to keep him out. He had some pretty solid seasons at the plate.

I'd put him in but I don't think the voters will.

"The Crime Dog" Fred McGriff.


On Kenny Lofton; he was one of my favorite players growing up. He may hang on the ballot a few years but I don't think he'll ever get in. I think the journeyman thing will be a strike against him too. Hall of Very Good.

Super consistent. 7 more HR and it boosts his odds big time. Although it really shouldn't. I'm right on the fence, but leaning towards no. Wouldn't be upset if he got it though.
