Message: [QUOTE="jncuse, post: 4454731, member: 1969"] Looking closer at a new "closer" on the ballot - Francisco Rodriguez. Billy Wagner gets a fair amount of love in voting. 51% of people have him in. I think those voters at least have to consider Rodriguez as well as they are somewhat comparable - although Wagner is more dominant and a better candidate in my view Comparing the 2: Innings Pitched - Rodriguez 976, Wagner 903 WAR - Wagner 27.8, Rodriguez 24.2 (the fact that Wagner is about 14% higher in WAR with less innings does show he was more dominant) Saves - Rodriguez 437, Wagner 422 Top 5 in Cy Young Voting - Rodriguez 3 times, Wagner 1 All Star Appearances - Wagner 7, Rodriguez 6 All time Save Record - Rodriguez 62 Do I think Rodriguez is a Hall of Famer right now or ever? No, since I don't think Wagner is one either. But he should at least be considered. [/QUOTE]
