Baltimore votes:
Emmett Goolsby
Jack Lobert
Barbaro Scott
Eric Seidel
Bill Vick
Pretty strong class here in my opinion, I remember Goolsby just being a terror on those strong Washington teams, the rest I voted for were primarily NL players, and I am glad of that...

This goes under the "Just Sayin'" category, so take it with a grain of salt, or shaken or stirred: I am surprised my fellow owners have not given Jack Lobert more love, he has 3 Cy Youngs, he is #8 alltime in the VPL for wins, and the 264 wins he has are more than 4 of the 9 starting pitchers already in the HOF. He ranks #4 in innings pitched, #5 in strikeouts with 3,179, and #2 in games started. I am no expert, nor did I stay in a Holliday Inn Express last night, but those numbers on the resume sure look like HOF type numbers to me, I am "Just Sayin'" :D:D:D

Goolsby, Lobert (THERE YA GO BEANBALLS :) ), Scott, Seidel, and Vick (the first player from my Bears to possibly make the Hall, even though I only had him for one season!).

:lol::lol::lol: Was not trying to campaign for Lobert, but I guess I am, I like the discussion for the canidates, and everyone is entitled to their own opinion, feel free to express it here during the voting. Lobert was a guy that never played for me (but I sure wish he did), but I sure like his credetials, even with the amount of losses he had and relatively high ERA...

I am sorry, but he is number 2 in BB given up, to go with his high era and losses. Also, over his 17 year career, he has a .422 winning %. He did dominate in 7 year stretch, which he won 3 CY Youngs. But he is borderline to me.
I say the veteran committee should vote him. :rolleyes: :cool:

Hera, I think you have his win % backwards, he won 264 and lost 215, for a win percentage of .551%. He did walk alot, but he never led the league in that category, and if you look at the 3,000 K's alone, in real life that is a magic number for HOF. Take a look here at the 3,000 club, but it is Wiki so it has to be true:

I havent taken a good look at the candidates yet, but I thought I would toss my 2 cents in...
I did happen to post last time about having to take another angle when looking at HOF pitchers. I like Lobert. His stats are definitely worthy of a HOF career. If you look at the list of 300 winners in MLB history there really are not that many, and they are talking about never seeing another one again.
All those walks is because of longevity, he averaged a walk every 3 innings, not exactly a bad stat.
and my final note.....
Nolan Ryan 324?292 .526
Ferguson Jenkins 284?226 .557
Phil Niekro 318?274 .537
Bert Blyleven 287?250 .534
all HOF pitchers with comprable winning percentages. Would you argue any of these dont belong?
and no, I wasnt around to even see this guy pitch, so I have nooooooooooooooooooooo reason for all this analysis lol
