Trammel played second fiddle to Yount and then Ripken, but was still one of the best shortstops ever.

Same here. I would think Jack Morris would be one, but honestly the other guys seem like all great players but maybe not HOF material. Oh, and I have no idea who Marvin Miller is. Is he coming to a Minneapolis autograph show soon?89Hen wrote:I'd be voting on name alone. I really don't know any stats for these guys.

From his wiki page: was an American baseball executive who served as the Executive Director of the Major League Baseball Players Association (MLBPA) from 1966 to 1982. Under Miller's direction, the players' union was transformed into one of the strongest unions in the United States. In 1992, Red Barber said, "Marvin Miller, along with Babe Ruth and Jackie Robinson, is one of the two or three most important men in baseball history."

Re: Hall of Fame Modern Era Vets Committee Vote
I remember when you were arguing that Mattingly deserved to go in ahead of Kirby Puckett, and Mussina 121 over Morris 123. I see Blyleven is 121, but practically begged to get in the Hall, while Jim Kaat, another Twins, is at 130. Puckett's score is 160.JoltinJoe wrote:Bill James Hall of Fame Monitor Scores for the 9 players on the ballot (100 or more = possible Hall of Famer; 130 or more = "Hall of Fame Lock"

Mattingly was better than Puckett and deserved to go in ahead of Puckett. I don't swear by HOF Monitor scores.

In Mattingly's case, he is one of a handful of players in the history of baseball who can say he was the best player in the game for an extended number of years. Puckett can't make that claim.
That being said, Puckett's HOF Monitor Score is a reflection that he played at his best for more years than Mattingly did. Unfortunately, the second half of Mattingly's career was beset by injuries and he was not the same player he was during the first half of his career.
But I still maintain that any player (or pitcher) who is the best in the game for an extended number of years should be in the Hall of Fame, even if his career is shortened by injuries. I call it the "Koufax Rule." Koufax won only 165 games in his career, and 97 of them came during a four-year streak before injuries ended his career. Mattingly deserves the same consideration.
Mat tingly could have Ripkened his way into the Hall of Fame. All he had to do was take his monstrous years and spread them out by inserting his Ripken-like years in between. Voila, 14 years of productivity and just when you thought he had fallen off the map, he comes back with a huge year and you say, "He's great."

Re: Hall of Fame Modern Era Vets Committee Vote
Mattingly was a better power hitter than Puck for a few years, and was a left handed batter in Yankee Stadium. Puck played centerfield and could carry a team on his back. I have no problem with either in the Hall. It's like comparing apples and oranges.JoltinJoe wrote:Mattingly was better than Puckett and deserved to go in ahead of Puckett.

Re: Hall of Fame Modern Era Vets Committee Vote
This is what I always think of when I think of Mattingly
"For his career, Mattingly never appeared in the World Series, and his tenure with the Yankees marks the team's largest drought without a World Series appearance. Interestingly, the Yankees made the Series both the year prior to Mattingly's rookie year, 1981, and the year after his last with the club, 1996."

Re: Hall of Fame Modern Era Vets Committee Vote
Mattingly was a pretty important figure in the emergence of the Yankees in the later half of the 1990s. He was a patient hitter known for making pitchers throw pitches and for his ability to work the court.bandl wrote:This is what I always think of when I think of Mattingly

Mattingly taught that plate discipline to Paul O'Neill, Bernie Williams, who in turned groomed guys like Derek Jeter, Jorge Posada, and Tino Martinez. Plate discipline was the hallmark of the Yankee Dynasty of the 1990s, and it all started with Mattingly. They worked starting pitchers out of the game before the 7th inning.

Mattingly was the best all-around player in the game in the mid-1980s, and it started at the plate. He won the batting title in 1984 (.343), led all baseball with 145 RBIs during his 1985 MVP year, led the league in hits twice (238, 207) and total bases twice. “The Hit Man” did not walk his way on base, yet he posted a career .358 OBP to go along with his .307 batting average.
9 Gold Gloves: Since the award was invented in 1957, only one first baseman (Keith Hernandez) has ever had more. Mattingly was as slick at first as can be. He excelled at nabbing popups toward the stands down the first-base line.
X factors: In terms of any of the intangibles, Mattingly’s contribution to his team and the game as a whole can’t be overstated. He represented the purity of baseball better than any player, and his example engendered the style of play that led to four Yankees championships in five years following his retirement in 1995.

Re: Hall of Fame Modern Era Vets Committee Vote
Don Mattingly, as far as I know, had no impact on Mariano Rivera becoming possibly the best closer in the history of baseball, and that was quite likely the biggest factor in the Yankees doing as well as they did in the last part of the 1990's. Giving Mattingly credit for simply not being on the teams that won World Series is stretching it to say the least. Why not credit him with the World Series the Yankees won in the 1970's as players were anticipating the rise of Don Mattingly and stepped up their games considerably to avoid having him take their places?
