Why does someone have to get elected into the Hall every year?

It seems to me that some years there just isn't anyone worthy for election.
Yeah, but this year there are at least 10 guys who should be in and a couple more that deserve a long look.
Wow, you really do NOT understand the concept of the Hall of FAME, do you?

Just ignore him.  He's massively retarded when it comes to baseball.

Neither do most of the HOF voters.

The Hall of Above Average.
Maddux, Clemens, Bonds, Piazza, Thomas, Glavine, Bagwell, Biggio, Raines, Trammell.

4 or 5 of those guys are inner circle Hall of Famers. The other 5 or 6 are better or right at the average Hall of Famer for their position.

So, I guess if your "average" is average Hall of Famer, then yes. But if you mean average major leaguer, you're dumb.

Maddux should be first-ballot HOF.  Glavine should be in.  Biggio is marginal, but I'd probably put him in.

Clemens, Bonds, Piazza and Bagwell are tainted,

Thomas, Raines and Trammell has very nice careers.  But not HOF careers.

How do you know they are tainted but Maddux, Glavine, and Biggio aren't?

How do you know Clemens, Bonds and Piazza are not?  Why do you suspect that Maddux, Glavine and Biggio might be?

I don't pretend to know anything about who did and did not use PEDs. Because no one really knows who did what and how much it might have helped, I'd vote in anyone who's performance merits inclusion.

I think it's stupid for anyone to say Piazza, Bagwell, and Clemens used, Maddux and Biggio didn't.

There's evidence for Bonds and Clemens.  A lot of it.

If you're going to rule out Piazza and Bagwell, it's just because they look like roiders.  That's a ****-poor reason.
