Default So, who do you think the NL committee will elect?
Posted By: Hal Lewis

Actually, I don't have anything against Lee Smith...

and I think that his benchmark of 478 saves should set the standard by which future HOF closers are measured.

BUT...

my problem is that the voters are clearly thinking that Sutter and Gossage and perhaps even a few other closers are more worthy of induction and "must" be inducted before someone like Lee Smith.



I don't think Sutter and Gossage belong... so I want them to fail and THEN maybe Lee Smith will have a fair shot later on.
