Haha.  Perhaps.  Actually I thought Raines played only with the White Sox after the Expos.

I knew about Carter, forgot about Raines and vaguely recall the token ring Dawson got.  I refuse to believe 'The Hawk,' ended his career with the Marlins.  Noone that good should be associated with playing for an out fit like that.

A bit of a bummer our buddy gherig38 didn't get more love for the HoF vote.  At least it's trending upward, and we can hope he gets there in a few years.

Kevin Brown?  Moises Alou?  Livan Hernandez?  Charles Johnson?  Al Leiter?  Robb Nen?  Edgar Renteria?  None of those guys will make the HoF, but all were pretty damn good at the time.

Oh yeah, and that "Gary Sheffield" guy wasn't half bad, either, and probably should make the HoF.

I don't think Cy Young, Walter Johnson or Rube Waddell ever won a World Series. Talk about a pretty good starting rotation!

Johnson won in '24.

Cy Young won a title in 1895 with the Cleveland Spiders, before the World Series existed.

Can't find any evidence of Waddell ever winning a title, though :)

I liked quite a few of the Marlins players of their own merit, I just think the organization is shoddy and bush league.  I should have been clearer.

As an aside, a list of the 15 best players not in the Hall:


http://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/mlb/15-best-players-not-in-baseball-hall-of-fame/ss-AA7Tygr?ocid=mailsignout#image=15
I saw that list this morning. 

I gotta beef with it, though:  It's one thing to merely include players like Rose, McGwire, & Bonds; they did put up impressive numbers, after all.  However, it's another thing entirely for the list's author to actively agitate for their being inducted into the Hall.  Fuck that guy, and fuck them.  >:(
