2045-00012: Talons GM Still Says He Doesn't Give a Crap About the Hall of Fame... And Here's Why

[jiminyhopkins]

Phoenix, AZ--

The Talons GM doesn't care about the Hall of Fame.

Except when he does.

Normally a reclusive sort, the Talons GM really doesn't speak up unless he has something to complain about. You know, such as the Talons reportedly improving by 6-10 wins, for example, to a total of 82 after last year's 81. Makes sense. But that's not why this article is being hastily typed on Opening Day.

No, it's because of the Hall of Fame that he doesn't care about. "So of course Lumpy LaLoosh gets in," he began. "I mean yeah, the guy has some good seasons and then goes and gets hurt, shortening his career, but still putting up numbers. Kind of like that one guy in that other league years ago that got in after he went blind or something. And hey, thats fine. Really."

"So, having established that you can have a shortened career and still get into the Hall, what if, say, your career was shortened the other way? Like, say, you didn't have a full season until you were, I don't know, 27 or so. What then?" he continued. "I mean, you have 60 WARs, you hit like 500 homers, you win Silks and Pucketts. Not enough, huh? What an absolute joke."

"Can't wait for the BBA nerds to explain that one."

He was the best pitcher in the league 3 times before having an injury shortened career?

And Winson was the best hitter in the league twice after he had a shortened career.

Also, 60 WAR > 53 WAR

That's fair. I did vote for Winson, and agree, if you vote for Laloosh and don't vote for Winson, it makes little sense.

Winson continues to get robbed.
