Edmonds: HOF?

[BartonK]

Looks like Jim Edmonds is done. I'm not sure anyone believes he's a Hall of Famer, but here's my question: how long does he stay on the ballot? One year? The full 15? Or somewhere in between?

 

[spnited]

Will not get the necessary 5% in his first year to stay on ballot any longer.
Not even close.

 

[BYH]

No.

 

[OnTheRiver]

Nyet.

 

[Chi City 81]

Nein.

He may outdo Jim Deshaies. Best he can do.

It killed you to write that, didn't it fanboi? :D

I'm a Cardinals fan, but also a realist -- one and done.

Wow. Way to jump down the guy's throat, shockey. A simple no would have sufficed.

So how about the Hall of Very Good? What do you think, fifth time the charm?

He was hell in the outfield, I know that. The fans in Cincy still hate him for some of the over-the-wall rob jobs he did there.

One of my friends, a devoted Reds fan, used to buy tickets in RCF stands hoping to get close enough to throw something at him.

 

[Rumpleforeskin]

Edmonds could be at the ceremony, just in the crowd.

 

[bigpern23]

Negative, Ghostrider. The pattern is full.

 

[spnited]

No even Hall of the Very Good, Ragu ... decent player, nothing more.

 

[BYH]

How about the hall of the OK?

I hear it's in Dover, DE.

I think I drove past that on my way to Dewey Beach with Scott Van Pelt.

No, it belongs in the Dust Bowl. Signs advertising it could break up the roadside crosses motif well.

And: no way is he a Hall of famer.

No. If he gets in Garry Maddox is next; (and I'm not talking Afro HOF either), because if Edmonds is the guy who makes the catch but does it stumbling and nearly falling over, Maddox is the dude who is so smooth you think he's moonwalking out there as he chases down another gapper with what appears to be little effort. Maddox makes Edmonds look like Greg Luzinski.
