The Hall of Shame it what it is.. Scott Rolens career stats are just above average.. And other players are being left out because their discriminated by their personalities or if they played with a steroid user it's all Politics.. If Scott Rolen is a Hall of Famer you have to put all the retired players that have the same stats as him in the Hall ...
Yea if it weren’t for the 81 strike season, he would have had over 400 hrs, so yea. But I use that logic for Lee smith and Harold Blaine’s in the 81 & 94/95 strike seasons that they would have reached certain milestones.
Kent belongs in the Hall, based on numbers. I agree. But if you're wondering why it's taking so long, the truth is, the guy treated sportswriters like dirt. He would get in their face and scream at them over silly things, just because he got off on it. Well....those guys he treated like dog crap are the same guys he now expects to vote him into the Hall. I'm not justifying the sportswriters locking him out. I'm not saying it's the right thing to do. But it doesn't surprise me. I've met two sportswriters who were verbally abused by this guy for really no reason at all, and according to both of them, this was standard procedure for Kent, who frankly, wasn't a very nice guy.
We saw Jeff Kent on the "Superstars" show in 2009 and on Survivor 25. He seems like a cool and nice guy. He helped Ali Landry and didn't belittle or badger her on the show even though she wasn't the strongest athlete. He always encouraged her and accepted her athletic inabilities. They were my favorite team. Joanna Krupa kept badgering T. Owens. Also,while on Survivor, he wasn't really mean to anyone. That game is cutthroat so some manipulating and conniving is expected from all especially nowadays. He definitely didn't stand out as someone that was mean. We don't know baseball but like reality shows and know him from there. Yeah, being a nice guy doesn't mean you should be in the Hall of Fame; however, we still feel is a Hall of Famer for being a stand up guy.
I got something even more soundly crazy .. Bobby Bonilla should get in then . His numbers are right there with Scott Rolens.. It's a disgrace how this guy is getting in with just above average career numbers no way is Scott Rolen a Hall of Famer
@@anthonyscarpa6107 Bonilla has 40 less career bWAR, was worse both offensively and defensively. No Bonilla wasn't the same as Rolen good God what a terrible take.
How far off was Bonilla.. He had 2,010 career hits , Rolen had , 2,077 .. Bonilla had a batting avg of 279.. Rolen had 281.. Bonilla had 287 career Homeruns.. Rolen 315 .. You know what it is.. Bonilla and Rolen 1 World Series each.. The only difference is Bonilla wasn't a likeable guy and Scott Rolen was and that's the truth.. How did Scott Rolen have 10 votes not too long ago and wound up with 78 votes... When Bonilla was on the Ballad he had only 2 votes when both of these players had nearly by a slight margin same career stats... ITS UTTAH NONSENSE.. You know what it is Bonilla wasn't liked and Scott Rolen was.. And it's not fair to other Retired players with the same stats as Scott Rolen..
What about Gary Sheffield his numbers dwarf Rolens ! Why wasn't Sheffield elected because he use to work out with Barry Bonds ! ... Again Not Right .. How about Jeff Kent .. Better than Rolen by far.. Rolen got in because he was a fan favored and he played for Philly
Andruw jones prime was 10-12 years and most of those he was better than chipper Jones the greatest defensive outfielder in the history of baseball who was an elite offensive player for a decade no team would have traded andruw jones for Jeff Kent or Scott Rolen this is insanity that andruw didn’t go on first ballot lmao
I would like to point out to Mad Dog that Kent has no black type. He never led the league in hits, doubles, triples, homers. runs, rbis, stolen bases, BA, On base, slugging, strikeouts, walks, AB, games, OPS ... nothing. Never won a gold glove and was more of a defensive liability. Also, no World Series titles and his postseason numbers were just OK. I am a Kent fan, however, especially for his days with the Mets. But if I had to pick one person on this year's ballot, I would have voted for Todd Helton (who should have won the 2000 MVP instead of Kent). And if you want to knock him for playing in Colorado, his numbers were still good on the road (his BA away from Coors was better than Rolen's career average). My second pick would have been Billy Wagner, who was almost unhittable for like 10 years out of the bullpen, and in three less years finished with more Ks and a better WHIP than the great Mariano Rivera. That is saying something about how good he was.
Scott Rolen is a HOFer! Career: .281 BA, .364 OBP, .490 SLG, 316 HR, 1,287 RBI, 2,077 Hits Career: 122 OPS+, 70.1 WAR (Wins Above Replacement) 8-time Gold Glove Award winner (4th most for any 3rd baseman) (behind Brooks Robinson, Mike Schmidt & Nolan Arenado) 7-time All-Star 1997 Rookie of the year (.283 BA, 21 HR, 92 RBI, 121 OPS+) Hit .421 with 1.213 OPS in the 2006 World Series title with the Cardinals. Unlike A-Rod and Bonds he didn't cheat, just worked hard in a tainted game. Morally Great Player. Kent was the offensive version of Rolen. Kent will get in executive committee
I'd like to see the old-timers committee finally put Dave stieb in the Hall of Fame. Roy halladay's in the Hall of Fame, and he wasn't any better than Dave.
Mad dog is entertaining but also super biased. I’m fine with Kent being in HOF but the main reason mad dog votes for him is because he’s a rabid Giants fan. And no way Devon White and Ken Berry were better than Andruw Jones defensively.
The Hall of Fame should have 3 levels.....the Immortals of the game, the 2nd Level is the compilers, very good over time & then the 3rd level is for nice players who really shouldn't be in the HOF.
This is uttah Uttah Garbage... If Scott Rolen is a Hall of Famer so is Bobby Bonilla ! The numbers aren't that far off... It's become a crying Hall of Shame... You tell me how a player with 315 homers ! 2,077 hits. Bonilla had 2,010 career hits and 287 career Homeruns top 20 best switch hitters of all time and the guy is only known for his contract with the Mets... Bonilla had a lifetime average of 279.. Scott Rolen 281 ! Both players were in the same bracket in career RBIs and Runs ! This is RIDICULOUS ! ... RIDICULOUS ! ... Scott Rolen should be nowhere near the Hall of Fame your gonna tell me he was better than Jeff Kent , or Fred McGriff, Gary Sheffield, ... How about Bernie Williams did everyone forget about him ? YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING ME ! Your gonna tell me he was better than Bobby Bonilla this poor guy is only remembered for his contract with the Mets and his incident with McFarland and Bob Klapisch ! What about Bobby Bonilla winning a World Series with the Marlins in 1997 ! And the only reason why Bonilla fell short on Homeruns and other stats was because of the Baseball Strike with a month to go in 1994 and injuries... What about Mark Teixeira did anyone forget about him ! ... If Scott Rolen is a Hall of Famer so is a lot of other retired Baseball Players ! ... Scott Rolen give me a break... This is clearly Baseball Favoritism at its best again ! You tell me how close Scott Rolen is too being a top 100 career player in Homeruns and RBIs and Runs , and also Hits ! He's nowhere near it ! ... Hall Of Fame more and more like the Hall of Shame... You mean to tell me when you walk inside the Hall and see Scott Rolen with just above average numbers your gonna say too your kid this is one of the Greatest Players of All Time ! HOW WHERE ! !! ... Mike Francesa would have a field day with this I wish I would hear his Rant on this ... Scott Rolen ! You have to put everyone in the Hall of Fame basically now or guess what it's clearly Favoritism playing out here .. Scott Rolen is not a Hall of Famer this is the biggest joke yet for the HOF SMH ! And Bobby Bonilla was runner up for the MVP in 1990 behind teammate Barry Bonds..
Jeff Kent is a homophobe. That’s not a opinion, that’s a fact. Look at the things he have said about the community through his playing days and post career
love the Devon White shoutout. he doesn't get talked about enough. there were stronger arms but nobody was ever better chasing fly balls.
The Hall of Shame it what it is.. Scott Rolens career stats are just above average.. And other players are being left out because their discriminated by their personalities or if they played with a steroid user it's all Politics.. If Scott Rolen is a Hall of Famer you have to put all the retired players that have the same stats as him in the Hall ...
Dale Murphy has 2 MVP’s. Dave Parker.
Yea if it weren’t for the 81 strike season, he would have had over 400 hrs, so yea. But I use that logic for Lee smith and Harold Blaine’s in the 81 & 94/95 strike seasons that they would have reached certain milestones.
of course kent deserves to be in
Kent is getting screwed! Do you think it’s because he played for the Dodgers at one point too?! 😂😁

Kent finished in 1st,6th,8th,9th 13th and 19th in MVP voting. Rolen finished in 4th, 14th and 20th. How could you put in Rolen ahead of Kent?
We saw Jeff Kent on the "Superstars" show in 2009 and on Survivor 25. He seems like a cool and nice guy.

Kent doesn't have black type in a season, but he does have the most HR ever by a second basemen.
Well then Albert Belle should be in, he got a career ending injury like Puckett and Koufax. He’s got 10 years.
Shout out to Devo. Nice

Roy halladay's in the Hall of Fame, and he wasn't any better than Dave.
How 'bout Aramis Ramirez?
He wasn't the best player in the NL is 2000. Todd Helton was.
This broad is smarter than this guy. She destroyed him on Helton.
Mad dog is entertaining but also super biased. I’m fine with Kent being in HOF but the main reason mad dog votes for him is because he’s a rabid Giants fan.
And no way Devon White and Ken Berry were better than Andruw Jones defensively.
Put keith in already..

Must've missed Derek jeters MVP
Jeter had a ton of other hof earmarks
3,000 hits, 5 rings, 5 GG’s double digit times an all star, even higher stats in postseason … didn’t need an MVP - definitely first ballot
Sacrilege 6th all time in hits, 5 Rings captain, NY spotlight.
