Jose is projected to have a better year than Edwin, so I guess that's a win.

I'm glad to see the Blue Jays bring back one of them.

Interesting.
I imagine it must be much easier for both sides to just say "yeah sure" when it comes to that mutual option year instead of having to go through all the paperwork and hassle if a potential agreement isn't already in place?
Still, weird concept.

I am. HOF voting always kicks off baseball coming back to me.
If Raines doesn't get in we should riot. If both Vlad and Raines get in on the same ballot I may have to go to the induction.
According to that tracker, Bags and Rock are at 88% of the ballots and Vlad is at 71.8, a little shy of getting in. Pudge is at 78.8%
But this is just those who made their ballots public and isn't 100%.

My back's turned on the HoF until Bonds and Clemens are in.
But yeah Bagwell, Raines, Pudge, and Vlad all deserve it. Only think the first two get in this time.
are there any screen shots of the Show mode?
Famista's looks like old NES RBI
but apparently it's a first print bonus rather than being in the game itself.

See you next year then. Now that sneaky duplicitous fuck Selig is in, only a matter of time.

Considering they allowed Bud Selig in, the man that set the rules. I'd agree. Just let the players in on performance.
Off the top of my head i would let in:
Bonds
Clemens
Raines
Bagwell
Edgar
Manny
Mussina
Ivan
Posada
Walker
Schilling
And i guess the crime dog, but he is borderline to me. (And maybe sheffield)

So Jose is officially staying in Toronto.
He gets 18 million in the first year, a mutual option for 2018 for 17 mill, or a $500k buyout. And a vesting option for 2019 for $20 million, and no one knows what the vesting portion is yet.
Edit: Vesting option is 300 games played over 17-18. But honestly I don't see them picking up the option.

He also has bonuses tied to attendance.
Bautista:18M in '17. 17M mutual option in '18, 500K buyout. 20M vesting option in '19 w/300G in 17-18 and healthy
Jon Heyman (@JonHeyman) January 18, 2017
Bautista also has attendance bonuses. 150K for 3.5M, 3.6M, 3.7M, 3.8M, 3.9M, 4M attendance. 900K per yer possible. #jays

And supposedly Rogers gave Shapiro money to sign him. So the payroll might be in the $180 range or so.
Hope Edgar finally gets in, but it's most likely not his year.
Not happening this year, but next year should be an easy lock.

Bonds will get in the next year or two. Especially if the ballot results will no longer be anonymous.

Who will Bonds have to kill to get into the HoF?

Bagwell!!! So glad he's finally in with Biggio too.
Sucks they never won it all.

Trevor Hoffman in the hall of fame at all is bad enough, but before Edgar or Barry? Just burn the place down it's worthless.

Jays getting new alternatives.
It will probably come down to his final year. Going to be close.Those Edgar numbers are actually much lower than I would have thought... He might not be a lock for next year after all

Nobody from the steroid era should be excluded if Bud Selig is in the Hall of Fame now.
Yeeep
Baseball writers are the true experts. These gentlemen have seen a lot of shirtless men in their time. Only they can tell what is in a man's heart.
You say this as though you actually believe the Hall of Fame voters aren't inconsistent and hypocritical.

Bonds and Clemens need to get in. Starting next year the ballots will be made public.

Jorge Posada off the ballot after failing to meet the 5% threshold.
Speaking of Core 4 players:I don't know what the greater injustice is, the fact that Bonds is not yet in the Hall or the fact that Jeter will probably be the first unanimous election and not Griffey Jr.

I mean, should Matt Stairs get in because he was one of the best pinch hitters ever?
