Congrats to the guys but I have to say, I never watched Beltran and felt like I was watching a hall of famer

If Jones is in, Edmonds will also be voted in.

Was never an Edmonds fan, but he has better numbers and was as good as Jones defensively.

You could really say that about Andruw Jones. Jones was shot by the time he was 30. Beltrán was better for much longer and he could switch hit

Andruw was arguably the best defensive center fielder since Mays

That Jones is in there and Murphy is not is a fricking crime.

Wut?

Druw is the best defensive CF'er of all-time not named Mays.

And he put up eilte offensive numbers for long enough to get him in

And lets add, jones had 680+ more at bats, or would of been dominated by Edmonds offensively in every catagory but stolen bases.


jones had 2 more gold gloves


And i'm not a Jones hater, but if he gets in, Edmonds has to get in.

I'm not sure he was shot so much as he got fat and turned into a dead pull hitter. Those last years in Atl were so frustrating watching him trying to yank outter half, offspeed pitches over the left field wall.
