I think one of Brannon or Garcia is traded in November. I can't see them adding both to the 40 man. Maybe they add Wehunt, but not Mullins. Mullins is drafted and converted to a reliever.
If they put Rose in, they should put Shoeless Joe in too. It doesn't really bother me anyway. When I was there as a kid, there was enough about Abner Doubleday, that I now know the Hall really is just about the story of baseball.
Unlike Rose, those guys were never banned for life. I think they'll all get in eventually, but it's a shame they make these guys wait. If Pettitte gets in, all those other guys should just take his keys.
Of those, I'd only leave off Murphy. A bunch of guys ahead of him in line: Lofton (yes), Edmonds (yes), Bernie Williams (yes), Lynn (I wouldn't put in).
I don't need to look up stats to tell me if someone is playing well. The stats can just backup my argument that he's not the horrible defender you make him out to be.
I think velo on his throws should be a simple enough stat for you to understand. You said he had a little league arm, but his arm seems to be strong enough to me even with a few bad throws mixed into a small sample.
The butterfly complaint is about him catching balls, not throwing them from what I remember.
