Major League Baseball record held by future Hall of
Famer Tim Raines.
Nice little discussion between ESPN's Jayson Stark and
Peter Gammons on Raines' Hall of Fame worthiness.
The Texas Rangers, now minus prospective #5 starter
Edinson Volquez, are once again in the market for

The Hall of Fame should let a former
king of the Expos start his Raine(s)
Rob Neyer and Keith Law don't get into
the BBWAA , and thus don't get a Hall
of Fame vote, because they don't attend enough baseball games. Woody Page is a BBWAA member , and get a HoF vote, for reasons that are entirely beyond me. Now, Woody is ...
If you haven’t been paying attention this year,
Jimmy Rollins is having a special year on the
base paths. With just two games remaining before the All-Star break, J-Roll has recorded the fourth most stolen bases without getting caught. With 22 steals in 22 tries, Rollins needs to make it through two more games to finish behind...
ANALYSIS Leadoff Hitters Tom M. Tango Tim Raines
is regarded first and foremost as a leadoff hitter.
But is being considered one of the greatest leadoff hitters of all-time enough to warrant being in the Hall of Fame? In order to answer that ...
When the votes come in for the next
Hall of Fame class, Tim Raines most likely will
be overlooked. BP's Jay Jaffe argues that "Rock" should be the top name on every ballot.
Four years ago yesterday, I wrote my first

Who deserves to make the Hall of Fame
this year? It's sort of a down year for
new arrivals with Tim Raines being the only new player on the ballot with a chance. Last year the writers had it easy because Gwynn and Ripken Jr. were locks and it could be argued that they took all the votes. This year someone has to make it because the Hall won't have a year with no ...
Okay, fine. More fun from Heyman . 3.
