those uniforms that Beltran has in this pic were, and still are, hideous.

I always hated the vest-top phase in baseball uniforms. I'm glad those are gone.

Kyle Davies? KYLE DAVIES??????

No shit.

Who put HIS name on the list . . . . . . . ?

Dayton Moore. Duh.

Was watching the Cubs - Mariners game and there was a pitcher with last name Davies.Was thinking the Royals had a pitcher with that name.But yeah,i don't remember him being very good,let alone in the Royals HOF.

At least they didn't put Luis Mendoza.

Kyle Davies

:-) :-) :-)

other than Ventura, I wouldn't put any of them in.

Damon and Beltran were great elsewhere, after leaving because we couldn't pay them. Why do we want to enshrine that?

none of the rest of those guys were exceptional players.

6-7 years just isn't very long for a team's HOF, IMO (not including Ventura, of course).

On a separate note, when confirming how long Damon was with the Royals, noticed he recently got a DUI with a BAC higher than his career batting average. :-)

Nobody has warning track power like Country Breakfast!

Holy shit Kyle Davies. Didn't he hold like a pretty major record for shittiness or close to a record. Only person I for sure would put in is Ventura and maybe Billy Butler. If he just stays 1 year longer, then he for sure gets to be on it.

Ace- In for sure.

Hochevar- Love his redemption story in going from a bust to a solid, if not dominant, part of that great championship run bullpen. But probably had to short of a good run to be HOF material. But I wouldn’t hate it if he got in.

Breakfast- Was the only Royal who looked like he belonged in the major leagues for a few years there (not physically. Lol). But ultimately only did one thing well and not for a lengthy enough period of time.

Guthrie- If there was a section for awesome teammate/cheerleader/great post season pressers, he would walk in.

Davies- bahahahahaha

Beltran/Damon- WTF?
[Reply]

Especially for a team like the Royals when it’s going to be more difficult than normal to keep guys here long term, there is a thing to be said about longevity that should work in the players favor if the numbers are close.

So that will ultimately mean Butler is getting in and probably this year

Hochevar and Guthrie won’t make it on first try but it’s conceivable they get in at some point. If Guthrie had won Game 7, he’d be a lock.

Ventura is getting in, lack of longevity aside.

Beltran is going to make it. Maybe not this year but won’t be surprising if that is so.

He’s definitely in before Damon

Damon has a chance someday to make it but not before or at same time as Beltran

Davies - wow. No

My Ballot

Ventura - yes
Butler - yes
Beltran - on the fence, hard pass
Hochevar - not yet
Guthrie - not yet
Damon - not yet
Davies - not even close
