But I keep telling myself it's the Hall of Fame, a tourist attraction in Cooperstown NY whose purpose is to make money, NOT the Hall of Stats.So if a BBWAA says that Sutter is more FAMOUS than Gossage for inventing (supposedly) a pitch and a more famous guy should go in, well, that's business, I guess.But the Hall doesn't give internet writers a vote (and I don't have 10 years yet) but if I DID have a vote, I would have voted for replica Breguet 3330BA.1E.986 Men's watch Gossage, Blylevin and Dawson.So in 6 years (or more), we may see the first ever Astro elected.SO, will Baggy beat Biggio into the Hall?? I'm not sure I'll have to see how the voters treat Roid McGwire next year at least Baggy isn't tainted with the roids brush and he, Frank Thomas and Fred McGriff may get in instead of McGwire and Palmeiro.
Maybe we need to change that ol saying “there is no such thing as a pitching prospect” to “there is no such thing as a sure fire hall of famer…”Well, I was replica Breguet 3700BA.12.9V6 Men's watch glancing over headlines and I saw “Astros Sign Miller” and my first thought was WADE is back??Miller IS coming back, but it's Trever, not Wade.(For 1.3 mill if he passes his physical.)WHO?Well, remember how Purpura been saying how we need a lefty reliever (guess he don't like Gallo?)Hello Trever.I'll bet yall don't remember him neither.He was an Astros?reliever in 98 and 99.
Really he was.History?Well the Tigers drafted him 1st round out of HS in 1991 (yet another first rounder who hasn't been, well, outstanding) and he was traded in the humongous 1996 trade: Lima (back when he was good), Ausmus, C.J.Nitkowski and Daryle Ward for Doug Brocail, Brian L.Hunter and Todd Jones.(We got the better of replica Breguet 5157BB.11.9V6 Men's watch THAT trade, I would say…).He pitched 102 unremarkable innings for us over the next 2 years, then we traded him to the Phillies for Yorkis Perez (yeah, I know WHO?) and he basically spent most of the next 3 years in the minors, then signed for a year with the Blue Jays, then spent the last 2 years with the Devil Rays, who didn't want him back.Hmm.Last year, he went 2-2 with a 4.06 ERA, 11 holds and 3 BS.
