he was one dimensional

I'm assuming you didn't watch Jeff Bagwell play baseball? He was an excellent defensive player at 1B, a converted 3B who probably could have played the hot corner for a while in his twenties. DRS rates his defense 50 runs above average for his career, UZR says +60. Further, he was a very good baserunner, both fast and intelligent early in his career, and still smart enough to steal bases at a good rate after his speed went. He stole 200 bases at a 75% success rate, and his extra-base taking and out avoidance on the bases rate 30 runs above average for his career.

If Bagwell had been a one-dimensional player, there could be a case against him for the Hall. Because in fact Jeff Bagwell was one of the great all-around players of his time, there is no plausible case against him on the merits.

At least one major publication agrees with this guy.

He didn't say Bagwell was one dimentional, he said, 'The perception is that his success was based on weight lifting, he was one dimensional...'

Bagwell was a stud! He also undoubtedly used Steroids. His body broke down just like other steroid users (ie Giambi, Nomar, Reyes - and I am a Mets fan - just to name a few). However, that was the culture and there was no baseball law against it, the majority of athletes used them, in all of the major sports. Let's just turn the page, vote in those who were truly great and be done with it all.

Reyes?

His body broke down just like other steroid users

What is the evidence his body broke down? He played 156 games or more from his age 31-36 season, had an injury, and quit... I'm willing to bet you could find 20-30 hofers that didn't play full seasons after their age 36 year.

I can respect a protest vote, provided the person who is protesting writes SEVERAL articles on the protest.

Oh please god no, I hope this is sarcastic.

I know, the ballot counters really care about comments of these non-voters.

Let someone else who really cares about baseball get a vote.

-Nobody deserves my Hall vote this year

Correct version should be:

- I don't deserve my Hall ballot. Ever again.
