The final year we proved we could draft capable MLB hitters.

That’s like 3 HoFers and maybe Degrom. What other two potential HoFs are you referring to?

why does Chris Sale look pissed

Yasmani Grandal is the greatest catcher of all time at scamming teams into paying him

Joc with the most rings.

I am really curious who you think the 6 are. I see 3 (although deGrom absolutely should get in too, it’s not a hall of accumulated WAR)

Why was Quit Merrifield included

There are definitely not 6 hall of famers there. – Harper – definitely. Could retire after this season and make the HOF – Machado – Most likely. He would need a Nomar style injury/ineffectiveness finish to his career to not make it. 2-3 more good seasons and he’s a lock
That’s really it. – deGrom could if he gets a 3rd Cy Young g but that’s his only real path – Sale needs 2 more great years after this one to have a shot with basically no games missed or regression – Realmuto has no shot – Yelich has no shot – Castellanos has no shot – Merrifield has no shot – Joc has no shot – Thor has no shot

as someone who doesn’t follow baseball super closely. I know who all these guys are. I was expecting it to have like 2 guys I don’t know

In addition to the other criticisms I’d like to add that you can click one year back, or one year forward, or pretty much any draft year, and grab ten names that jump out as « hey these guys could be HOFers! » on the same level as the ones you picked here.

6 HoFers? I feel like Harper and Machado are the only likely HoFers on this list at this point.

You think those guys are great? Once the Padres manage to sign number 9 pick Karsten Whitson, your teams are screwed. I mean, it’s not like the Padres would use up a first round pick on a guy who would just *not sign* and go to college, right?

Why did you leave out Jameson Taillon
are the 6 HOFers in the room with us right now?
Russell Wilson was drafted in the 4th round.
