2027 Potential 1st time MLB Hall of Fame Candidates

Posey is the closest, right ?

Wow, very weak class overall

In my completely uninformed opinion:

Posey


Lester




Everyone else.

I thing Posey is a first ballot

7x All Star Catcher who won:

-ROY
-MVP
-Gold Glove
-Batting Title
-Comeback Player x2
-3 times World Series Champion

I haven't kept up with MLB in a minute. This list shows. I recognize a names.

Y’all are aware, I hope, that all you have to do to get on this list is play for 10 years. It doesn’t matter if your batting average was .089.

Fans that at bitch about the thing being watered down and “The Hall of Very Good” don’t understand that if nobody goes in, it’s a black eye for MLB and akin to the impact of a major hurricane on Gulf Coast beach tourism for the town of Cooperstown, a lot of their annual economy depends on that induction weekend and having a bunch of people go in.

The people who run the Hall … and it’s run by a private family foundation, it belongs to them and not MLB and certainly not the fans …want a steady stream of new inductees, the more the merrier, to them it’s a museum and a tourist attraction designed to make money, not a sacred shrine to the baseball gods.

I saw somewhere that if you literally doubled the current membership it would still not be 2% of everyone who’s ever played MLB so it’s still pretty damn exclusive.

Maybe on Arrieta, but he really only had 4 great years.

Is johan Santana in? If not, don’t think arrieta should be
