Investing In The Contemporary Baseball Era Hall of Fame Candidates

I appreciate you mentioning the players that didn't make the cut this time around. As you point out, Lou Whitaker and Kenny Lofton are strong candidates. I personally think they are more deserving than Albert Belle or Don Mattingly. Belle and Mattingly had very short careers and their career numbers are not strong. But Whitaker and Lofton have strong career numbers and decent peaks.

I also agree with you that David Cone and perhaps Kevin Brown deserve a second look.
