00:00Do you think the writers that even voted for Beltran and Jones really think they're Hall of Famers?
00:07Or they're just like, we kind of need somebody in.
00:09And now we have so many guys that are really good players but don't belong in the Hall of Fame.
00:14Scott Rowland?
00:15Right.
00:16So they're destroying the Hall of Fame.
00:18And it's part of the reason why it's less relevant than it's ever been.
00:20And we kind of don't even bat our eyes anymore when Alex Rodriguez doesn't get in and Manny doesn't get in.
00:25Manny's off the ballot, by the way.
00:26He finished at 39%.
00:27That was his last year on the ballot.
00:28So the only way he's getting in is a veterans committee.
00:31And they're even harsher on steroid users than these voting, the BBWA.
00:35Like, they're not putting Manny in.
00:38A-Rod still has more time on the ballot.
00:41He's up to 40%.
00:41That's a minor increase from 37.1 a year ago.
00:45I forget what year this is for A-Rod.
00:46I don't have that in front of me.
00:48But he has more time on the ballot.
00:50Also fun to see.
00:51I always love these two.
00:52Yeah, so that's a shame.
00:53But you knew he wasn't getting in.
00:55No, I'm saying we're like broken to this.
00:56But they've ruined the Hall of Fame so much, we're not even, like, stamping our feet about A-Rod.
01:00It was, like, the fifth thing we mentioned.
01:01But also, like, I love doing this every time, too.
01:04All right.
01:04If you voted for Nick Marcakis, you lose your vote.
01:06If you voted for Alex Gordon, you lose your vote.
01:08If you voted for Rick Porcello, you lose your vote.
01:10If you put Hunter Pence or Matt Kemp or Shinsu Chu, which people did.
01:14All these guys I mentioned got votes.
01:16Edwin Encarnacion.
01:18You no longer have a vote.
01:19You're not taking them seriously.
01:20I was literally going to say they said it.
01:21Those guys are definitely one.
01:23Those are random ballplayers.
01:24Those are Hall of Famers.
01:25Those are random ballplayers.
01:26Remove.
01:27You do not take it seriously enough.
01:28You have to hand in your ballot.
01:30So Utley's going to get in, by the way.
01:32Utley was the highest vote receiver, not on the ballot.
01:34Buster Posey's on the ballot next year.
01:35He'll go.
01:36I think he'll go right in.
01:37I think Buster Posey's a Hall of Famer.
01:38He'll go right in.
01:39Yeah.
01:39I think Utley's going to get in.
01:41He was at, like, 60%.
01:42So whether it's next year or the year after, wrap your head around Chase Utley as a Hall of Famer,
01:46which, by the way, he's not a Hall of Famer.
01:48No, next year it is Buster Posey, John Lester.
01:53Yeah.
01:53Great player.
01:54I mean, very good player, not a Hall of Famer.
01:56Ryan Zimmerman.
01:57No, not even close.
01:58I think that's kind of it.
01:59Yeah.
01:59No, Posey's going to get, Posey will be a first ballot, and he deserves it.
02:02Yeah, Posey's good.
02:03Utley might get in next year.
02:04He doesn't deserve it.
02:05He's already been on the ballot.
02:06He should not be a Hall of Famer.
02:08Pablo Sandoval on the ballot next year.
02:09Nice.
02:10Panda.
