Mike Piazza was probably the best offensive catcher of all-time. He holds the all-time record for home runs as a catcher. Over 16 seasons, Piazza hit .308/.377/.545 with 427 home runs, 2127 RBI in...

Rafael Palmeiro is another interesting case. He hit 569 home runs, drove in 1835 and had a .288/.371/.515 line in 2831 MLB games. He had a lot of good seasons but never finished higher than 5th in...

I'm biased, but I don't know why Fred McGriff doesn't get more support for the Hall. 493 home runs, 1305 RBI, a 1550 RBI and 1305 walks with a.284/.377/.509 slash line. Fangraphs has him at a 50.5...

The next on the ballot is Jose Mesa, Jose was a pretty good closer, at times, during his career. He finished with 321 saves and a 4.36 ERA in 1022 games, 95 starts over 19 seasons. If you had...

Here's one that everyone will have an opinion on. Mark McGwire's numbers are well known: 583 home runs, 1414 RBI, 1317 walks, a 263/.394/.588 line. AL Rookie of the Year in 1987. 12 All-Star...

Donny Baseball is an interesting case, his career only lasted 14 seasons. At his peak he was great, maybe the best player in baseball for a few seasons, but back problems brought his stats down, so...

Edgar Martinez gets on the ballot for the 4th time. Last time he was on 36.5% of the Writer's votes. Edgar played 18 seasons with the Mariners, hitting .312/.418/.515 with 309 home runs, 514...

I'm going to skip a couple of guys again. Roberto Hernandez was a pretty good closer. He had 326 saves (13th all-time) in a 17 year career, 3.45 ERA in 1010 games (also 13th all-time). Pretty good...

Shawn Green was always a favorite of mine. I was sad when they traded him to the Dodgers. It didn't help that Raul Mondesi wasn't great. Shawn came in 5th in Rookie of the Year voting in 1995 but...

Julio Franco had a pretty interesting major league career. Franco came the majors as a short stop, getting into a few games for the Phillies in 1981 and then going to Cleveland, along with 4 other...
