The recent thread over Ozzie and the HHOF has me thinking a much more clear cut case...what/why/how is Lou Whitaker not in baseball's HOF?

I think someone like Jack Norris is honestly 'eh', to be in, but for a sport that can be statistically analysed forward, backwards, dead ball era adjusted, I don't get it.

I love Sweet Lou:
Batting: Above Average-Great (for a 2B)
Fielding: Above average-Great
Awards: ROY, 5 AS, 4 SS, 3GG, '84 WS
WAR: 81st out of every MLB player ever. Only people who have a better WAR than him and is not in the HOF are Pete Rose (obvious), Barry Bonds (obvious), Schilling (obvious), Clemens (obvious), A-Rod (obvious), slew of active players, then two old timey players who played in the 1800s.

Lou should be in.

It's a real shame he won't be healthy for the opener, I think it could've been our most exciting one in quite some time. It will still be fun to watch the other kids though I suppose.

Anyone gone to a Michigan hockey game yet this year? How did you get tickets? I wonder if it's difficult to do so.

How many games do we allow until we can fairly say Killian Hayes won't ever be what we hoped? Half a season? A full season?

Yeah it's getting pretty bleak isn't it? Still a solid draft with Bey and Stewart, but it looks like Hayes just can't score against NBA competition.

He'll definitely get a long chance to play through it this season, so I'm not sure I can put a number of games on it, but it's not looking great for Killian at the moment.

This. Feels like every game. Every freaking game.

Correa to Yanks? Ranking MLB's billion-dollar class of free-agent shortstops -- and where each might land

ESPN's evaluators obviously see the Tigers as a safe choice for one of the five top SS FAs and as frontrunner for Correa. I could definitely live with that.

The way Tork and Greene looked this year, dominating anywhere they were, the Tigers could be really solid next year. I will actually be really surprised if the Tigers dont land one of these shortstops. I know tey havent spent money lately, but now is the time at a crucial position that theyre weak at. There wont be a short stop group like this for a while
