Carlos Beltrán presents a new question for Hall of Fame voters. What to do with a player who helped create the illegal electronic sign-stealing system used by the 2017 and 2018 Astros? Ken_Rosenthal on why he's not voting for Beltran...for now.
? Major League Baseball punished the organization, manager AJ Hinch and general manager Jeff Luhnow, but not the players. Commissioner Rob Manfred said in his decision that he previously determined he would hold the manager and GM responsible for “misconduct of this kind.” The league also granted players immunity in exchange for their honest testimony.
Beltrán won three Gold Gloves in center field. He helped lead five different teams to the playoffs and was an absolute monster in the postseason, producing a .307/.412/.609 slash line with 16 homers in 256 plate appearances. Before Griffey, the last center fielder elected by the BBWAA was Kirby Puckett in 2001. And the last one before Puckett was Duke Snider in 1980. The Veterans and Negro Leagues Committees elected other center fielders during that period. But for the BBWAA, three center fielders in more than four decades seems rather low.Andruw Jones, entering his sixth year of eligibility, could help reverse the trend — he received 41.4 percent of the vote last year, with 75 percent needed for induction.
I don’t normally withhold first-ballot votes. If I view a player as worthy, I vote for him. What is the difference here?
