I’m going to skip Bronson Arroyo, who is on the ballot for the first time.
Arroyo had a nice career. He played 16 seasons, 419 games, 383 starts, a 4.28 ERA and a 148-137 record. He made one All-Star game, got MVP votes once and Cy Young votes once .He has a 70.1 career bWAR, 70th all-time among position players. Beltrán played on teams that made it to the playoffs seven times. He hit .307/.412/.609 in 65 playoff games. And he was on one World Series winner.
That World Series team might actually cost him some Hall of Fame votes, as that was with the trash can-pounding, sign-stealing Astros. Beltrán was named as one of the Masterminds behind the plan, and his teammates claimed he ‘intimidated’ some into going along with the scheme. The scandal cost him the manager’s job with the Mets. He had signed a three-year contract with the Mets, but they parted ways after the MLB report.Without the scandal, he’s an interesting candidate.
And, of course, do you believe cheating should excuse a player from consideration? How do you compare Beltrán’s cheating to say Barry Bonds’ cheating?
