Did jose canseco get a strikeout before he needed tommy John?

 

Didn't Todd zeile pitch in a couple? I don't think he makes the hall though

No, just trying to have a discussion.. off top of my head I can name several, but not many post-75

Gotcha. I cant imagine there are too many, especially HOF type guys that would even attempt to pitch anymore.

He is the only position player to pitch (since 1975) that is in the Hall...

Canseco should be.

 

He had 3 walks, no strikeouts and one blown out arm

the old being crappy at more than one position makes you valuable argument?

 

Ichiro will be the next to join this list

Technically, there are others since you phrased it as "MLB Hall of Fame Batters". Pitchers are periodically batters (more in the NL), so I think that you mean "Position Players". HTH. GFY.

How many of those pitchers are in the HOF because of their "batting"

I would hope that none of them are. Not all position players are in the HOF for their batting only.

the few that are, shouldn't be there.

 

Defense does matter, but harder to quantify.

 

Ozzie Smith being in the HOF is a joke

but there are guys who were borderline hitters that were good fielders and/or good base runners and it certainly helps their HOF credentials.
