With the 2010 season in the books, it’s time to start thinking about the Hall of Fame. In a pretty detailed analysis, Baseball Reference Blog provides the positives and the negatives to Alan Trammell’s candidacy. It looks like there’s a large consensus that thinks Tram is deserving (close to 68%) but only 14% of the people think he’ll get in.
My thoughts are, Tram is definitely deserving. So was Lou Whitaker and he’s off the ballot. The most deserving though is Bert Blyleven so until he gets, there’s going to be a logjam of players who have been on the ballot for a few years behind him.
