Carlos Beltran & Sammy and Mark
Beltran did a number on his legacy by being a part (ring leader) of the cheating Astros.
I wonder if this will keep him out of the Hall of Fame. I can see the writers taking out the lack of punishment by MLB on him.With how strict the MLB HOF voting already is, I think Beltran was borderline to begin with. It definitely keeps him out
I was looking at his #'s.
With the enlightenment of the media regarding sabermetrics, I could have seen him as a candidate that would gain momentum until he finally hit 75%
Career WAR 70.1 (70.0 is considered by many as the minimum for consideration)
119 OPS+
Some big postseason moments.
He would have started in the 20-25% range and over the years added more and more votes. -
where's randy johnson whom if you look at the numbers and can understand them was a far superior strikeout pitcher than nolan ryan . nolan took 350+ innings to strike out 300 batters, randy did it in 200+ 4 years in a row, why is he not here and he was far, far away from controversy.

This is a list of controversial players who may not get cards. Randy Johnson like you said was not controversial. I really want a Randy Johnson card though.

i saw so many randy games, i was there for his one hitter against the cardinals jose jimenez who pitched a no hitter, mcgwire scored the winning run, randy was truly such a fun person to watch play- he gave you your money's worth and i only paid $1, its when the dbacks were in their infancy, he worked so hard behind the scenes to keep playing and always gave his best, randy johnson is the man yo.

Players should have the only vote???
That is laughable.
When players have the votes their buddies get into the HOF.
Look at Harold Baines. The only way he should be in the Hall is if he bought a ticket.
But he got in because his former owner and two of his teamates were on the veterans committee.The current system with the BBWAA writers voting is more than adequate. Their standards to be eligble to vote are high. You need to be a beat writer covering baseball for 10 consecutive years to be eligble.

I'd love a Jose Canseco card
The pic would have to be that ball hitting his head before hopping over the fence for a HR!

Jose would look great on my All Cuban or All Marlins team, but he will not be in the game. His recklessness lead to his death and the death of 2 of his friends.
He could have been great, but sadly we will never know.

Thanks for bringing that up, as that's immediately who I thought of as well.
Plus my obligatory Ruth is the greatest ever post in response to the earlier discussion.

baseball "writers" are those who cant play bottom line, you spend 10, 20 years writing but youve never spent a day engulfed in a clubhouse, dont even know/understand what youre saying or talking about. if youre a "writer" youre a scrub man.
You're angry for no reason here. Just chill man.

Players-only voting is a TURRIBLE idea that leads to things like Harold Baines and Lloyd Waner.
The optimal method would be to keep it w/ the writers, but have their voting privileges revocable if they do something stupid, like leaving Ripken off your ballot or voting for Livan Hernandez.
