Sox Populi Podcast 170 — Hall of Fame ballot — 2024-01-17

Sox Populi - A Chicago White Sox podcast

Accompanying our SSS Hall of Fame ballot on site comes our traditional, accompanying podcast discussing the candidates and sometimes arguing about Billy Wagner. In on the discussion are Malachi Hayes, Dante Jones, Joe Resis and Brett Ballantini:

• The understated, and should be understood, greatness of Adrián Beltré
• Joe Mauer support seemed to have come out of nowhere; how big a surprise is his likely first-year election?
• Apparently, Todd Helton’s time has finally come
• Three cusp candidates (Andruw Jones, Billy Wagner, Gary Sheffield), controversial in their own ways
• The ongoing Hall debate over steroids and cheating
• Mark Buerhle and his disappointing and apparent slide off of the Hall of Fame ballot
• What gives: Andy Pettitte v Buehrle?
• What gives: Bobby Abreu v Scott Rolen v Carlos Beltrán?
• How much stock do you put into WAR?
