I haven't heard much at all about the Tigers pitching issues.

I...Fred Brill,<BR/>You make a lot of great points there. It is a complex issue - too complex for the game's good. Honestly, I just wish they would just worry about testing to make sure players aren't doing it anymore, rather than worrying so much about the past. We understand how guilty the players were - and many have paid the price for it. So has the game itself. Time to move on.<BR/>CaputoPat Caputohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05102662407927366439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29764383.post-57691110621579332002008-01-08T12:31:00.000-05:002008-01-08T12:31:00.000-05:00Book how have things.

How does Ozzie get in over Trammell. You would think that with this years class being weaker then it has in the passed. They would serve justice and get a couple of guys in that deserve it. I.E. Trammell and Morris.

He might still be in the top ten and I would bet he is still in the top twenty of K's by a lefty.

He did tail off late in his career because of injuries. But I can get over the Smith-Trammell injustice. And that players like Pee Wee Reese and Phil Rizuto are in because they played in New York.<BR/>CaputoPat Caputohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05102662407927366439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29764383.post-7923547450440717112008-01-07T12:20:00.000-05:002008-01-07T12:20:00.000-05:00Pat,I am also amazed that Jack Morris is not in th...Pat,<BR/><BR/>I am also amazed that Jack Morris is not in the Hall of Fame.
