Pretty lean classes here.  None of the new guys should sniff the hall. Maybe Cole Hamels. Removing the steroid guys (I’d put them in but that’s a whole other thing) I’d say Andruw Jones and Felix should be in.

Without looking at numbers and doing any actual research I’d have thought Omar V  was higher.

On a side note have met Hunter Pence a few times through work. Awesome dude!

talk about a ton of blah.  Beltran and Jones should make it over any of the new names aside from maybe Hamels when you include his postseason success. 

Gio Gonzalez?

That’s being generous. Not even Rick Porcello’s Mom <insert everyone banged her joke here> is thinking he gets a vote!
