This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

MLB Network Top 10 Right Now by TheRC

Just kicked off last night with starting pitchers but they have a side fan vote going on for Top 10 players not in the Hall of Fame.

I thought that would make an interesting discussion.

Criteria:
1) I'm going to exclude Shoeless Joe and Pete Rose. Clearly their play merited HoF but have been excluded for off-field reasons.
2) I'm excluding Bonds, Clemens, ARod and the other suspected steroid players as well.
3) Player must have already appeared on a HoF ballot (so no active or recently retired players please)

If you're game, submit your Top 10 overall and your starting lineup (8 pos + DH + RH starter + LH Starter + Reliever)
