It appears that Tim Raines finally will be voted into the Hall of Fame, and good for him.
It appears that Jeff Bagwell and perhaps Ivan Rodriguez will join him, and maybe even Vladimir Guerrero when the class of 2017 is announced Wednesday.
If you ask me, Tommy John and his 288 wins, Jim Kaat and his 283, and Mike Mussina and his 270 should get in. I’d even include Jamie Moyer, the former Cub whose 269 wins over 25 years speaks to remarkable longevity, not to mention that at 49 he’s the oldest pitcher to win a game and the oldest player to drive in a run.
