With the newest members of the Baseball Hall of Fame set to be revealed on Tuesday, Jared Carrabis had his thoughts on whether some controversial candidates will ever see enshrinement in Cooperstown.
Carrabis went through his personal approach as to who should be a Hall of Famer, including what stats he puts heavy emphasis on, like WAR7. He said he doesn’t think Manny will ever find his way into the Hall, with his positive PED tests and other controversies overshadowing his Hall-worthy stats. However, Manny will always be a Hall of Famer to him.
