PrintIts time to induct Blyleven into the Hall, if only so that we don't have to keep bitching about it.
Same for Santo.
Lone Star Ball had a great take on him today, comparing him to Nolan Ryan:
http://www.lonestarball.com/story/2006/12/15/142452/23
Blyleven has a career ERA of 3.31, and a career ERA+ of 118. Ryan has a career ERA of 3.19, and a career ERA+ of 112.Blyleven has a career WHIP of 1.198. Ryan has a career WHIP of 1.247.
Blyleven has a career WARP3 of 142.0, versus a career WARP3 of 138.7 for Ryan.
Don't like Blyleven's career .534 winning percentage? It is still better than Ryan's career .526 winning percentage.
Etc.
In between composing fan letters to Jenn Sterger, i recommend everyone reading Bill james' Whatever Happened to the Hall of Fame? amazon link which is sometimes also listed under The Politics of Glory.
