Question

Should we take into account Billy Wagner's Japan statistics when it comes time to vote him for Hall of Fame?

Answer 1

No ! Two different leagues . Besides Wagner has never been the same after Kelly Stinnette lined drived one off the middle of his forehead , a few years back when he was an Astro closer . He never got over that one ! I don't think he'll be in the hall .

Answer 2

NO!

MLB has decided not to recognize Japanese stats when they allowed Japanese players to be eligible for Rookie of the Year  despite being an established player over there.

Answer 3

No not at all.  The Hall of Fame is all about your major league baseball career.

Answer 4

That is a very good question.  We will definitely have to answer that in a few years when players like Ichiro start to retire also.

I would say that if they use stats from other leagues in the past (***** League for example), then this is no different.  Consistancy is the key.  I don't know if they did use the stats in the past, and I am too lazy to research it right now.

And for the record, I did use the proper name of the league.  I did not write anything offensive!

Answer 5

NOOOOOOOOOO

Answer 6

I do not thin kthat billy wagner should go into the hall of fame because he can be amazing sometimes but he can also be completly terrible other times(all star game for example).
