Ray Lankford should give him his.
You should learn baseball.
Don't blame my opinion about mr 1 time all star.
Learn baseball.
I know plenty about baseball. I just don't reward a red jacket to the 21st best player in his peak period. It dilutes the honor.
It’s not the HOF. You know this, right?

Also is that the 21st best in all of baseball? An era when a big chunk of those guys were juicing?

Okay.

Learn baseball, Cletus.

+1 wanting MLB Hall of fame numbers for every cardinal hall of fame player is dumb Lankford is in the top 10 and top 20 of just about every cardinal franchise offensive category to think he doesnt belong in the cardinal hall of fame is dumb

The 21st best player in MLB in 2024 was Jurickson Profar would you give him a red jacket?

Hes in the top 10 or 20 of just about every offensive category in cardinals history yea I think a top 20 franchise player who played Center field should absolutely be in cardinals hall of fame it’s a no brainer. This isn’t the mlb hall of fame it’s cardinals hall of fame you compare him to other cardinals players hes top 10 or 20 in just about every offensive category

This was a 9 season window, not a single season. For comparison sake, taking 2016-2024, it would be

20. Bryce Harper
21. Matt Chapman
22. George Springer
23. Shohei Ohtani
24. Ronald Acuna Jr

Those are absolutely players worthy of individual team HOFs.

If Profar had 8 seasons in a row that were as good as his 2024, he would make most clubs’ HOF….

He is in those counting numbers because he played in StL so long. He did nothing greatly significant. 1X all star, and never finished higher than 16th in the MVP race. The love for Ray is beyond me.

He had a 124 ops+ in stl.

By comparison, Arenado has a career 121 ops+

Again silly for you to say he should be punished for playing in the steroid era and not putting up steroid numbers and sure he could have used steroids and had a few 40-50 HR seasons then you would be all for it but he didn’t. And counting numbers are exactly why he should be in the cardinals hall of fame 5th all time in home runs 5th in stolen bases 9th in runs 10th in rbi 5 time 20-20 player in center field it’s absolutely dumb to say he shouldn’t be in cardinals hall of fame. Counting numbers are what get players into the halls of fame

To put Walker and Lankford in the same sentence is completely disrespectful to Walker.
The love for Lankford on this board is ridiculous. There is a reason he gets little love on opening day from the crowd compared to the other guys.

The love for Lankford on this board is ridiculous. There is a reason he gets little love on opening day from the crowd compared to the other guys.
lol he has the record for most homeruns hit at bush stadium 5th all time in franchise history in homeruns and stolen bases, 8th in runs and rbi 4th in walks only player in franchise history to be a 20-20 guy more than once and he did it 5 times as a centerfielder. Yea it’s ridiculous to like one of the best offensive players ever in the franchise

Ray Lankford should give him his.
You should learn baseball.
Don't blame my opinion about mr 1 time all star.
Learn baseball.
I know plenty about baseball. I just don't reward a red jacket to the 21st best player in his peak period. It dilutes the honor.
It’s not the HOF. You know this, right?

Also is that the 21st best in all of baseball? An era when a big chunk of those guys were juicing?

Okay.

Learn baseball, Cletus.
The 21st best player in MLB in 2024 was Jurickson Profar would you give him a red jacket?
Hes in the top 10 or 20 of just about every offensive category in cardinals history yea I think a top 20 franchise player who played Center field should absolutely be in cardinals hall of fame it’s a no brainer. This isn’t the mlb hall of fame it’s cardinals hall of fame you compare him to other cardinals players hes top 10 or 20 in just about every offensive category
He is in the top 10 of counting numbers. He did nothing of significance 1X all star that did not finish higher than 16th in the MVP race.
Again silly for you to say he should be punished for playing in the steroid era and not putting up steroid numbers and sure he could have used steroids and had a few 40-50 HR seasons then you would be all for it but he didn’t. And counting numbers are exactly why he should be in the cardinals hall of fame 5th all time in home runs 5th in stolen bases 9th in runs 10th in rbi 5 time 20-20 player in center field it’s absolutely dumb to say he shouldn’t be in cardinals hall of fame. Counting numbers are what get players into the halls of fame
Let’s not forget Coors field affect too.

Bichette and Walker owned two all star slots in the mid to late 90s

Career OPS in STL:

Goldschmidt: .843
Arenado: .800
Beltran: .836
Torre: .840
Hernandez: .833
Rolen: .879
Lankford: .840

Yeah, we don't want J. Walker performing like Lankford, do we???

Who finished as high as 16th in the MVP one year. What a star. But there was that one time he made the all star team.

Lankford became eligible for the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 2010. 75% of the vote was necessary for induction, and 5% was necessary to stay on the ballot. He received zero votes, and will no longer be on the BBWAA ballot.
