OT - Who is the best player that should NOT be in the HOF?
Posted By: jay behrens
Biggio is a no brainer. He was one of the best 2B in the game for a long time and did more than just get 3k hits. He could steal, had some pop and played top notch defense. As pointed out, Palmiero's staggering numbers are spectacularily underwhelming. It always bothers me though when people file the complaint that he he did it because of longevity. If it were that easy to pile up numbers due to longevity, then lots of good to very players would be compiling huge career stats. It's not that easy to be an outstanding player for a very very long time. Through most of baseball history, older, more expensive players tend to get cut in forvor of younger, cheaper players, so to be able to hang around for a long time means you are being productive enough to warrant keeping the huge salary around instead of briging up a cheaper, younger player.
