I think in this era with his stats and his consistency he should get in. He’s never been suspected of using and I think he’s exactly the type of guy the Hall of Fame needs from this era.
And yes, he has no gold gloves but he was definitely good enough to win it. Could have gotten it over Mark Grace in 1995, for example.
And yeah I did make a mistake I guess, it’s 2010. I know I read 2009 somewhere but probably a misprint.
I think he’s deserving… somewhat borderline, but deserving.
However, I don’t think he’s going to get the votes. 5 All-Star games isn’t a lot. No gold gloves. No MVPs. Never more than 110 RBI in a year.
I liked him, and he was a good classy player… but I dunno if he was ever the #1 or #2 guy you’d want at that position in baseball.
Edit: And just for the record… McGriffs numbers TOTALLY BLOW AWAY Jim Rice’s numbers. There’s no WAY on EARTH that Rice belongs in the hall. The guy’s entire career was the product of FENWAY PARK. Not talent.
The exceptionally talented Jazz artist Jim Brickman has released him CD entitled Valentine. I am very confident and happy to announce that I believe Jim Brickman fans, and Jazz fans alike will be pleased with this one. With the release of Valentine Jim Brickman’s artistic excellence is on full display as Brickman has once again delivered a brilliant collection of tracks that could very well be him best work to date.
Valentine literally grabs your attention right from the start with Valentine and won’t let go until the very last note of the very last song Destiny, which by the way is another great track.
Valentine has a pleasantly varied, mix of 12 tracks that are very well written songs by this clearly outstanding artist. Most of the songs display a lot of the kind emotion that makes for a really great listen. Seemingly drawing from what I can only imagine are him own personal experiences. At different points touching on the most real emotions like love, heartbreak, pain, failed relationships and unattainable romance. They’re all here.
Listen to and I think you’ll agree that the song choices are excellent, the production is outstanding and Jim Brickman is clearly in top form.
While the entire CD is really very good the truly standout tunes are track 2 – To Hear You Say You Love Me, track 10 – Love Of My Life, and track 12 – Destiny.
My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 1 – Valentine. Wow!
