With the winter meetings a couple of weeks away, there’s not a lot to talk about so I’m not surprised MLB.com is rolling out a bunch of HOF information. Jason Beck tackles the case for Jack Morris and how Jack has been lobbying for Bert Blyleven. I’m kind of in the same boat. I think Morris is HOF worthy, but not until Blyleven gets in. I think this is finally Bert’s year so it wouldn’t surprise me to see Morris start making up some ground here in the next couple of years.
Of course I’m still bitter about Lou Whitaker getting bounced on his first ballot and Tram still wallowing with little chance of making up any ground. Even Darrell Evans doesn’t get as much respect as he should have. It’d be nice to see one of the 1984 Tigers get in the Hall.
The numbers speak for themselves.

Is your bitterness over Whitaker more over nostalgia, or do his numbers and career warrant consideration?
