Rollins getting a paltry 12.9% of the vote while lillywhite hack Rolen getting elected tells you all you need to know about the BBWAA. 

It's an absolute farce.

rolen cried about the phillies not spending enough and not enough talent around him...he was traded in 2002 -- 6 months later they signed jim thome, the new park was opening in 04, rollins was up and utley was on his way.

hes a babyback bitch who was a solid hitter (and tremendous defensively) at best. never finished in a top 3 in mvp voting. a complete farce he is in, but they put crappy ass craig biggio in so whatever.

Zero hour, Michael. It's the end of the line. I'm the firstborn. I'm sick of playing second fiddle. I'm always third in line for everything. I'm tired of finishing fourth. Being the fifth wheel. There are six things I'm mad about, and I'm taking over.

I hope that you're trolling about Jimmy.

I won't tolerate James Calvin Rollins slander sir.

He's a HOFer.


MDS

jimmy was a great player and is easily the #1 phillie ever but if you legit think he belongs in cooperstown you need help

this mightve been the most asinine homer thing youve ever said and this is saying something

I've said worse. Give me some credit.

The drug puritanism continues to be stupid. A Hall of Fame with Scott Rolen but not A-Rod or Manny is a complete joke. In time this will be viewed as madness.

Better hitter than Larkin better fielding % than Ozzie Smith. MVP...won a world series while making some clutch hits.

The whole HOF has become a Hall Of Very Good judged by pretentious baseball writers. It has taken the shine off the HOF.

barry larkin had a 116 OPS+ including 13 consecutive years over 100 where he averaged an .847 OPS.
jimmy rollins had a 95 OPS+ with 6 total seasons over 100 and just one of them over 104. he had 2 seasons with an OPS with over .800.

i am begging you to stop

Rollins scored more runs, had more hits, more stolen bases, more doubles, more triples, more home runs. But sure Larkin belongs and Rollins doesn't because he has a slightly lower OPS.

MDS

i never said larkin belongs. and his OPS is not "slightly" lower, its 72 points lower.

jimmy deserves a statue at the bank and the number retired, all that jazz. but he aint no hall of famer, not even by the standard that craig biggio got in

you stupid libs want to give a gold star to everyone nowadays

We can move onto fielding next if you'd like

MDS

being better than garbage like phil rizzuto and alan trammel does not qualify you

i watched jimmy's entire career and at no point did i ever think i was watching a generational talent or even a special player. except for that one season.
