The first three are in the HOF. The next two will be on the ballot shortly. I did not think any active 2b, except maybe Ramon Santiago, deserved to be included yet because of lack of time served. For example, Cano only has 7 yrs.

Alomar pretty easily, for me.

i just looked up sweet lou, alomar, and biggio up on fangraphs and lou beats both of them by a ton defensively and was on-par offensively. i confirm my write-in for lou, it really cant be anyone else for me.



edit: i should mention i preemptively plan to vote for Tram for shortstop whether or not he's on the ballot lol.

If Tram is not on but the lesser player Ozzie is I might just burn this site down.

Write-in for Whitaker.

Lou was excluded b/c he did not make the HOF. If he were still on the ballot, I would have included him. Yes, he was a conscious exclusion.

Tram is still on the ballot, so he'll be there when we get there.

Some quicky thoughts on the candidates...

Morgan: Bill James claims he might be the best player ever...take it for what it's worth
Alomar: Compared to Eddie Collins when elected...a step below Morgan believe it or not
Biggio: Love Biggio. True Grit. Not as good as the other two or Sandberg.
Sandberg: He's become underrated in recent years. Had one of the best games I ever saw in 1984.
Kent: Premier offensive 2b of his era.
Lou: Great defender, prime time player. Should be in the HOF. Shame that he went down so quickly.

Sweet Lou was a helluva player, great glove and bat with power. He deserves to be in the HOF. I'm a lifelong Tigers fan, but Whitaker isn't in the same class as Alomar, in fielding or hitting. Never saw Morgan play, so Alomar gets my vote.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Don't spoil it. Sweet LOU is the man.

OWar - Alomar 66.9 Lou 62.0
DWar - Alomar -3.4 Lou 7.7

Very comparable and I get sick of hearing Alomar was awesome on D. Both with the exact same FLD % but Lou impacted it much more if you look at DWar.
