Most of the recent Hall of Fame talk has centered around outfielder/designated hitter Harold Baines who was recently voted into the Hall of Fame by the Veterans or Eras Committee. Baines was a very good hitter for a long time, but almost nobody outside the committee thinks he belongs in the Hall of Fame. Baines' inclusion makes it more difficult to ignore some of this year's borderline candidates - such as Andruw Jones, Todd Helton and Lance Berkman - who were far superior to Baines. And I can't write a Hall of Fame article without plugging Lou Whitaker who was about twice as good as Baines according to WAR.
