Well, at least it's only the garbage pen guys who (hopefully) have no chance to be in the Show this year are the only ones who seem to not know where the plate is...
I think Helton gets in this year. And yes, he is EXTREMELY underrated, most likely due to spending his career playing home games at Coors.
He was such a well-rounded player though.
Lofton should be in, too.
I must say that I will have a great sense of Schadenfreude when the Dodgers once again get bounced from the NLDS to some scrub team that won 88-90 games.
Why not just leave the DH position and grab some decent depth options to spell Trout and Rendon, so they can occasionally DH to try to keep them healthy? I don't think the DH "position" needs to have a full-time occupant.
It's also because he's 25 years old. The Angels could sign him and he'd still be in their rotation the next time the Angels are WS contenders...in 2030.
There are a lot of them in Reno, too. Not sure how many of them are relocated NorCal denizens.
I'd say you dodged a bullet not getting tix to that snoozefest on Sunday.
