No candidates

No hall of fame candidates this year. The common phrase that i hear from most modern day fans is look at his numbers. His numbers deserve the hall. If a guy plays 15 plus years and he is a good offensive player hes gonna pile up some big numbers. Im gonna state the case that simply having big numbers doesnt automatically make you a sure fire hall of famer. Craig biggio has 3000 hits and is among the leaders in extra base knocks. But as a defender he was below average at three different positions. Craig was a defensive liability in the field. A definate all star because of his bat but i vote no as far as cooperstown is concerned Jeff Bagwell a solid power hitter and an average defender but not good enough for the hall. I understand that some young fans were not afforded the chance to see some of the candidates up for election but simply looking at stats and ignoring the players all around ability to play the game is a narrow outlook when considering them for the hall of fame.
