• Joe Posnanski » Blog Archive » Best pitcher of the 1980s …
  Posnanski hates the Morris for Hall of Fame argument that he was the best pitcher of the 80′s. I tend to agree. While a case can be made for Morris, it rings hollow as long as Bert Blyleven is on the outside looking in.
• Joe Posnanski » Blog Archive » The Twelve Random Thoughts of Christmas
  But Posnanski does agree that Lou Whitaker got the shaft and echoed my thoughts on his candidacy rather precisely. I don’t know if Whitaker is a HoFer, but the disparity between Whitaker’s and Sandberg’s treatment is inexplicable.

2. Whenever you are in the top 100, you’re doing a heck of a job. Bet next year you move into the top 50.

3. Thanks for that link, Bill.

   Also, looking at Blyleven’s comps on Baseball Reference, it’s unreal that he’s not in the HOF.

   1. Don Sutton (914) *
   2. Gaylord Perry (909) *
   3. Fergie Jenkins (890) *
   4. Tommy John (889)
   5. Robin Roberts (876) *
   6. Tom Seaver (864) *
   7. Jim Kaat (854)
   8. Early Wynn (844) *
   9. Phil Niekro (844) *
   10. Steve Carlton (840) *

   What more does a man have to do? I think his omission is egregious. However, in my mind, so long as Buck O’Neil isn’t in the HOF, I don’t pay much attention to it anyways. That’s just pure ridiculousness to the nth degree to not have him in there.
