2015 Hall of Fame election

[Jim65]

My votes would be Piazza, Johnson, Martinez and Smoltz.

No way is Biggio a HOFer, he'll probably make it, its already so watered down so who cares if another undeserving player gets in.

Johnson, Pedro and Piazza deserve to get in. I think Smolts falls a little short.

Shootin' from the Hip... My Thoughts Also! However, I'd like to take a Closer Look at Smoltz before I come uP with a Final decision...

Biggio Seems Like a Shoe iN For Me Though!!!

I don't like you. And I hate the Mets! '86 still hurts me to this day. Biggio is very deserving. Piazza is a joke. Only a Mets fan could put Piazza in over Biggio.

Randy Johnson, Pedro Martinez and John Smoltz. That's it.

I feel as if Johnson, Martinez, Smoltz, Piazza, and Biggio should and will get in. Being in and near Atlanta for all of Smoltz's career I believe he is a first ballot HOFer; he was a starter then a reliever who set records and then a starter again, he was amazing in the post-season and hit pretty well for a pitcher.
Maybe Piazza and Biggio have questions concerning PEDs , which have never been proven; and possibly inflated stats due to the era in which they played but no one can deny what they did on the field from Piazza's offensive numbers and Biggio's hit totals --something that few people have done. Their stats are there and they should get in this year. Along with the Veterans Committee possibilities it could be a big class in 2015.

One last thought and I have no horse in the race on this one....does Jeff Kent deserve HOF election?

Piazza did one thing (very) well for a while, while Biggio did everything well for a long long time. Bill James rates Biggio as the 5th greatest 2B in BB history (acknowledging that he also played other demanding defensive positions), and I agree. Among present-day batters, if he isn't a HOFer then nobody is.

I hope Biggio gets in. I struck him out in college. That would give me something to brag about...while people roll their eyes.

No rolling of the eyes here, I think that's pretty damn cool.

Kent was an RBI force. I would certainly give him the nod.
