Spitters in 2011 had a player by the name of Hai Feng Jiu. he was one of the great 1 year wonders in league history putting up 222 hits .346 avg 119 runs 37 hr's (somehow only 6 doubles) and a 5.2 WAR in his rookie year. he was basically out of a job 2 years later and gone from the league shortly after.

today we signed the speedy slick fielding Hai Feng Chu, who was named after the former Spitter and now gets to likely finish his career in the baby blue.

Looks like a Rose City hat - so he went in with Shelby.

How the hell does Juan Luna not get in the HOF. Even crazier that Carl Hunt gets more votes than Luna. It would be pretty hard to argue he is not the greatest reliever ever.

Yep, a crime on both. Voted for both and will continue to forever. Look at the saves people, not the WAR!

imagine voting in dudes who pitch 1 inning every few days..

guys, why isnt your favorite pinch hitter in the HOF???

The player with 150+ more saves than anyone else ever in our league isn't in.

This plea will fall on deaf ears.

"Normal" Relievers don't deserve the HOF IMO, but Luna wasn't a normal reliever.


Dude had a 10 year stretch where he averaged over 5 WAR per season and averaged over 100 innings pitched per season...and put up at least 3.8 WAR in each of those 10 seasons.

No other reliever in our 80 year history has even half the argument for HOF that Luna does.

we shouldn't vote on awards or HOF.

I am starting to agree with this more and more.

you should try drafting before telling us what to do

so to recap

- dont vote AS
- dont vote HOF
- auto draft

what the fuck is the point of playing? set the lineup weekly? bet the CPU does that too.

Something Nick and I actually agree on.

If Luna was so lights out for 10 years he should be a little higher than 11th in the all-time saves list at 380 something. I would never vote for a closer that doesn't break into the top 10 and all time saves. But that's just me

could just be down to what role he was in, if he was in that stopper role which looks likely, he probably just didn't have the opportunities while still being in the highest leverages moments of a game

I wonder what his WPA is
