I don't have a heavy protest, but it's a weak addition to the Cubs HOF.

Asking former players to get involved in these things is never a good idea. Athletes are usually very bad at objectively analyzing their own sport. It's two completely different skill sets. Billy, Fergie, Ryne, Andre, and Lee actually know Jose, so of course they're drawn to that name on the list. Do they even know who Bill Nicholson was? Or Bob Rush? It's just not a great way to put together a hall of fame. We have historians and statisticians for a reason.
