Sykes, what are your standards for HOF status? I'm not questioning your right to submit a blank ballot but I am wondering what it would take for someone to get your vote. You're not easily impressed are you?
Are none of these guys good enough to get a vote?:

- career OBP of .400, career SLG of .577
- 3 seasons of slugging over .600 and 4 seasons of OBP over .400
- 1 World Series ring
- 1st team All-Star twice, 1st team Silver Slugger twice
- 2nd team All-Star twice, 2nd team Silver Slugger twice
Reggie Smith

Jerry Koosman

- career ERA of 3.58, WHIP of 1.26 and Winning Percentage of .547 (on a team that didn't win a lot -- no offense BigA)
- won 20 or more games five times, struck out 200 or more twice, ERA below 3.00 three times
- All-Star selection five times
Tom Seaver
