Jack Morris and Alan Trammel voted in by the modern players committee.

Jack Morris

Alan Trammel

I think both are marginal, but I'm OK with them.

Morris was the ace wherever he pitched, was a finisher, has rings with 3 teams. 3.90 lifetime ERA in the Hall? Well...

Trammel had a very good glove at SS to go with those numbers. I was a big advocate of Barry Larkin for the Hall, if he is in, Trammel deserves it, too. Larkin was an All-Star twice as many times - was Trammel ever the best SS in the league?

I dunno about the "Modern Era" stuff. It's marginal, too.

Neither should be in the HOF, and I say that w/ great respect for Morris' big game ability, the 10inning shutout of the Braves in game 7 possibly being the best pressure pitching performance in my lifetime.

Trammel wasn't even a perennial All-Star, making 6 in 20yrs. Never close to the best at his position, w/ Ripken and Ozzie around.

Sad that the Yankees lost to the BoSux, but w/ all the injuries they had this year, they were lucky to get as far as they did.

Series also showed that relying so heavily on HRs makes the playoffs tough. Stanton would be getting ripped to shreds by 80s era, liquored up Steinbrenner. Really hoping that it was just a 1yr stop over, and he's getting traded to the Dodgers in the off season.

I hope Didi's Tommy John surgery doesn't make the front office panic and sign Machado. Team is too right handed already. Better off to let Gleyber play SS, and sign Murphy to a 3yr deal to split time between 2nd, 1st and DH. Other than that, I'd rather Machado money be spent on Starting Pitchers.

Just wanted to stop in and say that Mariano Rivera was annoited the Greatest Hall Of Famer of All Time, via unanimous induction this year.

I don't expect the same done for Captain Derek Jeter next year, because so many other towns, and their writers, got dick issues with NYC and the Yankees. Also, the rebuild of the Marlins will hurt him. #6 on the all time hit list, dude is a lay up, though.
