1st you guys say that 3000 hits is the reason he should go in(only 27 guys etc.)Then,you say his last 3-5 years shouldn't be held against him.So,he gets credit for hitting 3000 hits,but you don't want it held against him that he was hitting at a poor average while doing it(meaning he will possibly go in the hall hitting lifetime sub .280.)No matter how ya turn the ball (to make it look good,) he is short on talent.I don't think he is anywhere near as deserving as the guys Chuck mentioned(who he is saying tailed off late.)It's not like Biggio had multiple 200+ hit seasons before he started hitting a low average.I don't think race is B.S. in this situation.I think it's a big part of why he has been allowed to keep playing on this team.I don't think he would be doing this if he wasn't white.I don't think he would be on the team,and if he was, then they would have replaced him when his performance started dropping off. Team has struggled for years offensively,but they are too stubborn to reload.
