As the OP I don't accept the Giants answer LOL. Any other candidates?

Observation from casual fan - I assumed Posey was first ballot and had sick numbers. That was the feeling I got from watching the Giants in those every other year championships. He seemed to be the guy keeping it together and getting big hits (from the catcher position) all the darn time. When I just looked at his numbers was surprised to see that a legit argument could be made to keep him out. I’d certainly vote him in but not as slam dunk as I would have thought.

AGREED! Though David Eckstein is one of my all-time favorites.

Speaking of possible HOF catchers:
(Peter- please excuse this hijack of your thread) How would you rank Posey, Mauer & Molina? Would they all get in? None? Make your arguments. .

I would go 1) Mauer with Posey closely behind. Molina is 3rd. He just wasn't a great hitter. (Sorry I've posted so much in Peter's thread) Last edited by cgjackson222; 07-31-2023 at 12:52 PM.

The 2005 White Sox were pretty bland too. they had Konerko and Dye but no one is going to remember them unless you were from Chicago. With a pitching staff anchored by Buehrle and Jon Garland and Dustin Hermanson closing for you. Oof.
Wow an examining the line up a little further shows that only 3 of the starting 9 had an OPS+ over 100 that year. Pretty hard to believe they were champs. They did have Big Frank but he only appeared in 34 games and didn't appear in the postseason. Last edited by packs; 07-31-2023 at 01:08 PM.

What about the 2016 Cubs? They won 103 games and the World Series. Their best players were Kris Bryant, Anthony Rizzo, Javier Baez, Ben Zobrist and a young Kyle Schwarber. Pitchers were Jon Lester, Jake Arrieta, John Lackey, Kyle Hendricks.
