Is John Lackey a hall of famer?

[rake922]

It will be close but I think he gets in since he has a world series ring.

Who is with me?

[broadway6]

serious?

[spippen]

Putting aside how much I like to watch him fail, in my opinion if he never has another start again, I would be shocked if he is ever considered a candidate for the Hall of Fame, let alone get in.

[jds07v]

there are people that think andy pettitte is a border line hall of famer. Based on that alone, there is no reason for me to think that John Lackey gets in.

Had one good season (07 was it?)

Besides that one outlier season, he hasn't won more than 14 games in a season. Only twice in his whole career has he posted an ERA under 3.5

For most of his career, he has put up #'s of a #2/3 starter, which is fine, since thats what he is. No spot in the hall from my perspective. I don't think the ring will put him in

[BigDan]

thank you for that

Message to MLB:

When the Angels dont re-sign their big name free agents, steer clear of those guys.


Lackey, Figgins, and K-Rod are the latest examples. Texeira is producing, but he is getting paid 20+ million a year. Not worth the stress on your pay-roll.

This is a real thread???

[tatddy]

Short answer: NO.

Real Answer:what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

[rockaflocka]

hes been to 1 all-star game

[jds07v]

^ a simple wrong would've done just fine

[dynamite140]

Big Fraud thats for sure

[Terrapin Station]

Not a chance.

[chinoloco212]

LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL he is not even close to a hall of famer

[HoulihansTX]

I wouldnt even pick him up on my Fantasy team.

[NY Playa]

NOPE... hell last 2 years on the balet is my guess, then get less that 5%.

[rake922]

I wouldnt even pick him up on my Fantasy team.

why not

[PaperTrail07]

No...come on hall of famer is just getting tossed around these days............discredits the real guys

[goldengreek]

fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuukkkkkkkk

nooooooooooooooooooooooo

[yisman]

Is this a joke? Not even close.

[gryfyn1]

wow this thread is JJ level stupid ...

[Soxsfan9]

As Yisman said its not even close, I wish we never picked up this bum!!!!

[oakas]

Not even close. I do not know how you can even ask this question.

[Whippit]

too early to tell

lets see how he improves over the next 5-10 years

[sheffield77]

ha this was a funny thread no way the guy can be serious

[ex50warrior]

I wouldnt even pick him up on my Fantasy team.

That's hilarious---but pretty much the way I feel too.

[thebestthereis]

if he goes back to the al west he has a shot

[VicVega91]

This thread is hilarious. When you have pitchers that have far better career numbers than Lackey being looked at as borderline HOF, I can not even see Lackey getting on the ballot

Thanks for the laugh first thing in the morning !!

[HoulihansTX]

why not

LOL.

The only thing Lackey has in common with other Hall of Famers is that his career is over.

[sports zone]

Not even close to one.....................

[Rixsaw]

we'll have to wait and see his career stats

[yisman]

too early to tell

lets see how he improves over the next 5-10 years

Lackey is turning 33 this year. He's past his prime and getting worse.

He spent 8 seasons in the AL West and still has an ERA of 3.98.

He had one very good HOF-caliber season, and that's it. This guy is not even close to being considered.

[Landscaper]

Not even close

[eatdust11]

I definitely don't think so

[Jackson Hole]

I sure some idiot writer will give him at least 1 vote.

I meant he could get in as manager

word on the street is he's interested in either of the Texas jobs
