Adolph Schilling has asked the BBWA to remove his name from the ballot for the HoF next year. Given that two plahers who are obviously paper qualified to have been first ballot Hallcof Famers cannot get over the bump due to PED allegations,.and that the two best qualified additions to next year's ballots are also PED tainted, will we go two years on a row without the writers electing anyone to the Hall?
Not if they look more carefully at Jamie Moyer's records.
Seriously, Scott Rolen is a HOFer.
Maybe, but he's not getting in next year. Nor is Omar, even if he stops beating his wife.
Rolen strikes me as another HoVG guy.
Did people really think he was a Schmidt, Brooks, Boggs Chipper, Molitor 3rd baseman or close to HoF when he played.
as for Omar-I think his superb fielding and what did he have 2800 hits should be his ticket in
and
he was overshadowed by the new breed of slugging SS-ARod, Nomar, Jeter and Miggy that dominated the AL during his career.
and
I'm not testifying to his character, nor his ex's, but I might take an ex's unproven accusations, which he denied, with a grain of salt.
