Season 35 HOF Rundown

After a year hiatus, the HOF rundown is back! Feel free to disagree and debate… No Doubt Bruce Dellucci – An absolute no-brainer. For the record, he went 278-145 (3 rd ) with a 2.84 ERA (top 10) over 3720 innings (top 10). He also struck out 3327 batters (3 rd ). He went to an amazing 11 ASG, and won 2 CYA. Solid chance Mel Barfield – An excellent 2B, went to 7 ASGs and won 4 SS and 1 GG. He batted .313/.371/.514 for an outstanding .885 OPS, and added 512 SB. He scored more than 1500 R and drove in over 1200. He’s a very respectable candidate and should garner quite a few votes. Jamie Bradley – A true ace, Bradley pitched 3771 innings and won 239 games. Combine that with a 3.49 career ERA and you’ve got someone worth serious HOF consideration. He never won the CYA and only went to 4 AS games, but he was the definition of a front-line starter for a very long time. Obviously not in the Dellucci tier, but a good choice nonetheless.
