He takes too many pitches and doesn't hit for power in the clutch.

 

A sub 1.00 ERA. Absolutely. In all seriousness, you get people who bail on Mauer after 30 at bats, but nobody ever jumps on the bandwagon when someone starts out hot.

They just need to be careful not to injure anything.

I voted No (but he'll get in the next year).

 

I know that's controversial, but I just don't think his total body of work is there yet. I'm going to need to see 10 to 15 more innings before I can really judge whether he belongs on the first ballot.

Yes. But only by riding in on Colabello's coattails.

I hate that darned rally monkey, but it was the only logical option this time.

Since he's been compared favorably to Tom Glavine on TD, and Glavine just got in the Hall on the first ballot, I'm wondering:

 

Why hasn't the Clemente rule been invoked and Gibby already been inducted, pre-posthumously?

With the time it takes pelfrey to pitch...gib-sony might make the hall of fame before the end of this game. #meyeryet # mayyet #hoffmanyet

 

by the time this game gets over tyler kolek might be taking pelfreys spot.

Must be Gibby's having been drafted in the first round that gets him HoF buzz after only one very strong start instead of two, like future Korean Baseball Organization Hall of Famer Andrew Albers.

I have to disagree with the emerging consensus here. His salary of $502,500 is going to hamstring the front office for years, and the sportswriters are going to crucify him when the time comes.

I honestly feel like Gibson and Hughes are going to make a pretty nice 2/5 of a rotation this year.

 

However, it may be early to giving any serious thought to the Hall of Fame for Gibson.

 

Nope. Too early for first ballot? Maybe. But He and collabello are pretty hof locks.

Okay you guys need to calm down.

 

I'm sure LEN3 is calling an emergency meeting of the BBWA right now to vote Gibson in
