odessasteps Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 Although, it would be fascinating to see who didn't vote for a probable HOF player a month after his death. Does George King still have a vote? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamhock Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 How hard could it be to put a rush job on some new ballots? Any half-wit print shop could have it done overnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted November 8, 2017 Author Share Posted November 8, 2017 Directling from BBWAA (which I forgot until Ed reminded me) Quote D. In case of the death of an active player or a player who has been retired for less than five (5) full years, a candidate who is otherwise eligible shall be eligible in the next regular election held at least six (6) months after the date of death or after the end of the five (5) year period, whichever occurs first. https://baseballhall.org/hall-of-famers/bbwaa-rules-for-election So they changed the rules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I speak for everyone here when I say I hope this creep drowns in a puddle of AIDS.

RIPPA Posted November 10, 2017 Author Share Posted November 10, 2017 Finally some news has started to come out regarding the Yanks managerial search The only person who has definitely been interviewed has been bench coach Rob Thomson Potential Candidates (from various reports): Aaron Boone, Jerry Hairston Jr, David Cone and John Flaherty (those two both apparently have expressed interest in the job who the fuck knows if they will be interviewed) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

odessasteps Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 Funny, since some folks think Wedge is the manager in waiting once they fire Gibbons in Toronto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted November 11, 2017 Author Share Posted November 11, 2017 I honestly think Wedge got interviewed more as a potential bench coach in case they go with an inexperienced guy At least that is what I keep telling myself 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tabe Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 Could also be his way of signaling to Toronto that he's tired of waiting for that job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serious Darius Bagfelt Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Alex Anthopolous new Braves GM. Will be interesting to see how he does. I will always give him credit on being a GM that finds a way to get the guy he wants. Problem is at least half the time it's the wrong guy.
