Todd HOF?

[ArdentVol]

interesting take on todd helton and other HOF nominees in the athletic.
think mlbtv will go all-in on voting early Tuesday afternoon

 

[YankeeVol]

He won't make it anytime soon IMO.

I do think he'll get in eventually.

 

[macrovol]

One of the top 5 first basemen of all time.

 

[RollerVol]

should be in now...ok, I'm a little biased...

GO BIG ORANGE!

 

[Titan05]

Great player, marginal HOF.

 

[savannahfan]

Maybe, but way out in the baseball boonies to get into the hall this early. Needed to play in NY, BOSTON, or some such to get into the hall early.

There were Rumors about Todd and PEDS. Don't know the final Verdict; But, the fact that there were rumors will likely defer his chances some. I remember him playing QB vs Uga. Pretty dang good too.

I think every club house in MLB should have a big bowl of Dianabol sitting in the middle of it. Everybody grab a couple before they take the field. Now we know it's a level playing field.

LOL! Yep. 100 mph fastballs and 550 feet homeruns. What's not to love.

And Kenny Stabler with his Amazing Second Half Performances. Pop a couple Specks then rip the cover off the pigskin.

I love TH.
But it's the Hall of Fame, not the Hall of Really, Really Good.

spent a year with access to MLB dugouts, etc in early 70s. Lotta smokes and pills were there for the taking

 

[NorCalVol67]

I think Larry Walker getting in bodes well for Helton down the road.

Harold Baines is a HOF'er....

He wasn't even really good, let alone really, really.

I don't recall his name at all.

*this is all I could find with a quick search: Helton considers lawsuit after 'juice' comments (from '05)

This is from '09: The Steroid Era: The Innocence of Todd Helton and Others Must Be Rewarded

I'd say so

Yea.....but I’m not sure Baines belongs.

That being said, I Hope Todd gets in eventually. Great guy to be around

Very good indeed. I think Todd has until 2026 or 2027. So, we shall see.

He gets 10 years, this was year 2 I believe.

Thanks you. Exactly what I said. RUMORS. Nothing validated; but why would someone accuse with no reason? Agenda maybe, but we shall see. At any rate, it was damaging and could affect the voters. I don't know how I remembered that; just tuned to Tennessee that much I guess.

Baseball is my first love (Yankee than Vol ). Everyone was doing it it seemed so I think a lot of players names got thrown out there. It wasn't really by more than 1 person though so maybe that's why I dismissed it.

 

[VOLINVONORE]

One of the top 5 first basemen of all time.

I think he will make it in: if not this year, then next year.

Larry Walker- WAR= 72.7, H=2160, HR= 383, RBI= 1311, BA= .313, OBP= .400, SLG= .565

Todd Helton- WAR= 61.2, H= 2519, HR= 369, RBI= 1406, BA= .316, OBP= .414, SLG= .539

Dale Murphy- WAR= 46.5, H= 2111, HR= 398, RBI= 1266, BA= .265, OBP= 346, SLG= .469

Todd isn't Canadian is the only thing vastly different than Larry Walker. There's a little of a Coors Field disadvantage, but these stats are almost identical minus the 3 batting championships and MVP that Walker had. I think Todd Helton gets in after a waiting period. Threw Dale Murphy in there because he had 2 MVP years and some similar stats but is lacking in others.
