It makes the pain a little less bad than it's been.
But really, what a disappointing season for them.
I mean, what a disaster of a year.
Oh, yeah.
I don't think there's any question at this point.
The saves, the strikeouts.
Once the door was cracked for modern relievers to go in, I think Chapman will be in there.
The questions to me, like Craig Kimbrell, Kenley Jansen, did they make the cut as well?
By the numbers, Dan, they sure do.
Wow.
It's those three this generation.
And I think once beyond the Gossages and the Mariano Riveras, once you started getting to that next tier of closers, it just opened the door for guys like Chapman and Jansen and Kimbrell.
I don't vote for the Hall of Fame anymore, Dan.
I don't know if I would have voted for any of them if I did.
And when I did vote for the Hall of Fame, I was a small hall guy.
But I also think that this is less to do with the steroid era and more
to do with the knowledge that we have because of analytics and the way that we can look at the numbers, compare them, understand maybe beyond those surface numbers what the depth of a player's true contributions actually were.
And I think the reason that Jones and Beltran got in is because they're centerfielders.
It's a positional thing, and centerfield is...
so valuable defensively and Andrew Jones was so incredible defensively and Beltran was right up there with him among the more elite defensive centerfielders of his generation.
