Alright, Im no baseball writer but how can you even have these two on the same ballot. Todd Stottlemyre was a decent pitcher, a good number 3/4 starter who in his best years could give you 12-15 wins if everything went perfectly.

Morris on the other hand was an ace who pitched better as the games got bigger. He single handedly won world series for the Tigers, Twins and Blue Jays and deserves to be in the hall when the announcement gets made tomorrow.

In order to make the hall a players name has to be on 75% of the ballots cast, to make it back next year on the ballot, a player has to have 5%. Now there are over twenty players on the ballot. Im sorry Todd, but if im voting, you don't get 5% with Morris on the ballot. If it came down to Todd Stottlemyre and Jack Morris as the only two for the hall I think I would vote Morris 100%. No questions asked.

Tell me that anyone who is a Blue Jay fan would pick Stottlemyre for the Hall of Fame and I will never write another Blue Jays post again because I don't see how hes even on the Ballot. If hes on it then Jimmy Key, Dave Steib and Tom Henke should all be in the Hall because they were 10 times better pitchers than Stottlemyre and all of them were aces on the staff at one point or another.
