Has CC played for the Yankees ? He has, therefore he will be in the Hall of Fame.

Surprised Jorge Posada wasn't enshrined. Chris Chambliss and Bernie Williams too.

Willie Randolph. The obvious one, Mattingly.

What about Munson or Maris?

Ah right. Lots of Yankees on that list of guys people want to see in.
Of them all, I would only agree with Mattingly.

Prediction-Kershaw will be a first ballot HOFer. He has been a dominant superstar by any measure. Sabathia will eventually get in. He is basically a compiler, but was dominant at times earlier in his career.
Also, 3000 strikeouts will eventually lose its ring just as 500 HRs has. 225 will probably end up being the new 300. |

Not really sure why people don't think another pitcher will win 300 games. Randy Johnson won 300 games after he turned 25 years old. He's obviously one of the greatest pitchers of all time, but so are the majority of people who won 300 games.

None of these. And if I could, I would kick out a dozen of the marginal players that keep guys like Mattingly in the conversation. He was good, he wasn't great. Just good isn't good enough for even the Hall of Very Good.

There are alot of marginal Yankees that aren't in & have no advantage because they played in the Bronx. |

Is Munson even in the conversation if he played for Cleveland or Detroit?

Mattingly, yes....Randolph, no....Just my opinion

Sabathia is an absolute yes for HOF to me. Maybe not first ballot, but he definitely gets in.
In some sense he was a compiler, yes, with only one 20 win season. Yes, the ERA is a little "thick" but he also pitched virtually his entire career in the AL (ex the Milwaukee stint where he went 11-2 with a 1.65 ERA), including through the back half of the steroid era. Pretty likable guy, seems like a pretty good teammate and he's definitely a gamer. Being a lefty helps the case, but he seems like a pretty easy choice to me. |

advanced metrics like Randolph better believe it or not.

No offense Scott, then obviously the metrics SUCK

This shit about WAR and metrics just blows me away. If you were in game 7 of the World Series, bases loaded and down by two and two outs, who would you rather have at bat? Mattingly or Willie Randolph? This is just crazy, no contest

FWIW Hall of Stats has Randolph about 50 points higher than Mattingly, who is by their standards utterly mediocre.
