Yahoo! Sports: MLB - Puckett? Mattingly? Or both? Hall voting is a tough call
Ken Rosenthal's HOF ballot. It strikes me as a tad hypocritical to bypass Blyleven and some other pitchers for a lack of statistical milestones and then include Mattingly, who has reached none of them. It is just an incident of widespread bias that we are seeing against contemporary starting pitchers and it likely is only going to get worse as the very few starters will reach 300 or even 250 wins for their careers.
