Impressive.
See it so often in kids and even HS where a catcher can really help, and hurt, a pitcher with how he receives a pitch.

Pirates re-signed Nova yesterday. After looking like they were in full reload mode, they (so far) haven't traded McCutchen, brought back a guy who was good for them in a two-month stint and are supposedly still trying to get Quintana from the White Sox. If they can solidify themselves as second-best in the division, that should be good enough to stay in the playoff picture.

I was surprised to see Vladimir Guerrero get so many votes, I had him in the hall of very good and I thought he had a much shorter career than he did. After doing some research, I didn't realize what a career he had.

At first glance, this appears to be the most marginal class to date.

Glad Raines made it. Pudge easy for me.
Bagwell was off the charts with his offense. Hit 6 HR in over 800 minor league plate appearances....then hit 440+ in big leagues

Royals pitcher Yordano Ventura, dead at 25. Horrible. Another young star pitcher lost to an accident.

Chris Carter for $3.5 mil is a steal. Show me another 41 HR, 94 RBI guy who just turned 30 that makes that little.
I don't care if he only gets a hit 1 out of every 5 at-bats and strikes out for 2 of them. That's solid production. Yankees will make the playoffs next year, they've had a solid offseason.
