JMjr, S3SL Hall of Fame worthy?

[Kingdom]

He enters this season with 415 saves, the active leader and he's only 43 behind Nenn for the all time record (sorry Leo, Hoffman checked out too soon). His other highlights:

102 career wins
Logged 90 innings or more 6 different times
415 saves
1.04 career whip
7 time allstar
4 world series rings
19 playoff saves
Started and won pivotal playoff games in 2023

He's held up pretty well and I plan on doing my best to keep him around as a pirate longer and maybe reach 500, it's a long shot but possible. Think he'll meet Mission's HOF requirements?

[browntown653]

Unquestionably, he should

[bipster]

Considering that Rivera just retired and went into the HOF this year and he is already 10 saves behind JMjr, I would say that JMjr is a lock.

[Kingdom]

Oh ohhh, forgot about him. Forgot he was actually a closer once. Or "closer"
His ERA was really high too, and 90 plus losses.

JMjr rules.

By the way, with older people lasting longer, I think we're going to have a nice string of hall of famers in the next 2-4 years. Morabito, Kotter, Vladimir Lenin, Lachance, Azevedo, Cuevas, McCumber, Galeana, Michel, Lafortuna, Moreno, Degroat, Hage, McCullough, JMjr all have legit shots or are already bound. Obviously not counting the in their prime or under 30 crowds.

The interesting younger guys to watch:

Peppers, 100 wins by age 28
Belizario Jr, over 900 hits in four years (220 plus each year, only 26)
Reyes, almost 1000 hits by 26 and plays in hitting friendly Coors
A.Ramirez, 20 game winner and Cy Young as a teen
Barbosa, 50 homeruns and lots of other things as a teen
Magner, at age 26 he has almost 150 homeruns, over 400 steals, over 1000 hits
Keifer, 63 wins in the last 3 years but unfortunately his team will die soon

[Halladay_is_God]

yes

Did anyone notice that Barco is basically Ichiro without speed.

.349 Career BA, Top 6 in every season hes played.
1459 Hits in 7 seasons (6 200 hit seasons, and 1 199 hit season.)

Cadillac Rybicki?

JM Jr ought to be a sure fire in.

Heres one for ya... #46 Terry Fortuna, Catcher, 32 yrs, Cincinnati Reds - Out of the Park Baseball Report

Is he in when he retires?

based on real life numbers of catcher that are in, he should definitely be in.....but we all know that this isn't real life. I would say as of right now he is a border line, a 2-3 more years like last year and he is definitely in.

[Kingdom]

Mission is a wise man, he'll recognize such accomplishments. BUT
How much of that was as a catcher?

[bipster]

good question, I didn't realize that he could play another position until you said that.

[Stonedrie2]

what about Jeffrey Pitts?

[Porter]

#46 Bill Sato, Leftfield, 33 yrs, Arizona Diamondbacks - Out of the Park Baseball Report

If Pitts gets in, then Sato should too.
