Jim Rice - Final year with the writers this year?
Lee Smith - Its time. But if he's in then do you consider closers who past him?
The problem I have with guys like Tommy john is that it is hard to make a case that they wouldnt be the worst pitcher in the hall of fame. Mattingly actually has worse career stats than mark grace. I really have no problem with Lee Smith but there are an awful lot of guys that have similar credentials too.
