    edgur1995 reacted to Halofan in Should Jack Morris have been voted into the H.O.F.   
    Should Jack Morris have been voted into the H.O.F.? After 15 years on the ballet He will now have to wait 3 years for the expansion vote to see if he can get in ... MLB.com had a interesting interview and article on him this morning that showed what a class act he is. He had 254 career wins falling short of the 300 win mark that is normally a lock to make the H.O.F. . In his 18 year career he won the World Series with Toronto , Detroit and Minnesota. Posting a career playoff record of 7-4 with a 3.80 era over 13 post season starts. And a 4-2 mark with a 2.96 era in 7 World Series starts.
     
      I myself was never a big Morris fan until the end of his career. In "91" I watched Morris pitch one of the best games I ever saw on the big stage. When he threw 10 innings of scoreless ball to out duel John Smoltz in game 7 of the World Series. He pitched 3 games in that series only giving up 3 runs over those 3 games. The man was a true bulldog of a pitcher and lived for the big game. Yes he fell short of the 300 win mark but in this era we may never see a pitcher with 300 wins again. In fact 254 wins is going to be a mark that may not be reached again. All I can say is Morris must of rubbed some writers wrong because many feel he should be in the H.O.F...
     
     When asked about his chances to get in on the expansion era ballot in 3 years . Morris's reply was simply.. " I hope I live that long"

    edgur1995 reacted to edgur1995 in Masahiro Tanaka rumors: Japanese ace wants $17 million annually   
    Would you rather have us wait and see Tanaka get signed to another team and rush to Garza and either over pay or get out bid then getting 1 of the players I mention for more than we could of got them in the first place. TANAKA is ideal but sadly his story to me is bidding and location war and were short stacked. If we sign a veteran and let our young arms battle it out and have a vet for insurance while still being able to fix our bullpen and save some cash for Trouts extension. Its simple if we know we have a slight or no chance then, MOVE ON!

    why doesn't he get any love around here? You guys will settle for a #4 starter for him when in reality HK can be one of the best 2nd basemen in the game. It makes No sense to me!

    Aybar for Niese? The mets would be getting the edge on that trade.
