Ichiro signs a 1 year minor league deal with the Mariners. Sounds like hes just going to play their first 2 games at the Tokyo Dome and then retire officially.

Lol, the HOF is a joke. Only person on that list that is deserving is Rivera IMHO.

You dont think Roy Halladay is worthy of the Hall of Fame

I think all 4 did. Edgar being judged for being a DH is silly and Mussina was one of the most consistently good pitchers throughout his career and had 270 wins. All great players and all deserving.

I think Edgar is the least deserving of the group.

I dont understand why Jeff Kent gets so little consideration. Hes the greatest power hitting 2B ever.

No, I don't. HOF should be for the best of the best, not the relatively consistent. Tim Lincecum has just as many Cy Young's and 3 WS championships and I don't think he'd belong either.

Halladay has almost 100 more wins. He had a 10 year stretch where he was 170-75 with a 2.97era 2 CY Youngs a perfect game and a no hitter in the playoffs. Thats the Best of the Best

Case by case basis for me. Bonds and Clemens should be in, Schilling probably if they're letting Halladay in.

See this is what really bothers me though. We glorify Halladay's 10 year stretch (and rightfully so), but refuse to acknowledge that Andruw Jones was one of the best players in baseball for close to a decade.

Lol, no it isn't.
Andy Pettite has 53 more career wins than Halladay, 5x WS winner and an ALCS MVP and he's not even close to being in. It's all subjective, Halladay wasn't even close to the best pitcher of his era.
