Somewhere around 1:00 AM this morning, when my latest piece on the Hall of Fame ballot was past late and waaaaay too long, I decided to cut and run with just the starting pitchers, leaving the relievers — whose methodology I’m still tweaking — for another day (word to the wise: no spreadsheets after midnight).

I’ll cover both in a blog entry to be named later, along with some discussion of this piece by Alex Belth over at SI.com (dude’s got a headshot up there, which can only mean more Mr. B at SI). Alex solicited my thoughts on his all-time non-Hall of Fame team choices, and even included my take on Tommy John in his piece. Check it out, and come back for some deeper discussion on the Hall of Fame in the next few days.
