Martin is probably the best defensive catcher in the ML.

Or a Matt Wieters pic for that matter.

Exactly.  Martin is really good, but he's no match for Yadi defensively.  Then again, who is?

There's at least two more names that I'd say off the top of my head that are much better defensively than Martin (Yadier, Wieters, Ryan Harrigan and Miguel Montero) and if go and do some research I believe you would find that this is true.

Martin has league average in wRC+ (96) in 2012 for catchers. He's also the second best pitch framer in the league (second behind only the immortal Jose Molina) and Martin is a fucking great defensive catcher. He is literally one of the best catchers in the game. It's okay, though. Ye have not yet ascended to my level of baseball intellect.

I thought we were talking about defense.

Cool he can frame a pitch.

it was a minor point. but, league average offense with his God given defensive skills...no brainer. he's a top tier catcher. I'm not saying Yadier is bad, but throwing base-stealers out is NOT all there is to defense.

Well, Martin did let up more passed balls and wild pitches if that's what you're trying to get at.

No, there's also pitch blocking/wild pitch blocking where Wieters and Harrigan lead the league... by a lot! And actually, by percentage, Harrigan caught more guys stealing than Yadi. And CERA (Catcher's ERA) he was 10 out of the 11 that qualified.

I'm not saying he sucks, I'm just laughing at the notion of him being call the best defensive C when he clearly isn't.

People like this will make the baseball HoF a complete joke. People voting for guys who shouldn't get in just to snub one of the best 10-15 players ever because of the steroids shit. Pathetic.

What rules, pray tell, did Bonds, Sosa (corked bat notwithstanding) and Clemens (I could even add McGuire to this list) broke?

If you're convinced that they've done no wrong, then it's really not worth my time to try to convince you otherwise.

My position on this is consistent: you either have to let all cheaters in or none of them; you can't pick and choose.  And since the MLB Hall has already let suspected cheaters in in the past (Gaylord Perry, anyone?), to suddenly get all moral about it seems a bit out of place if you ask me.  Bonds and Clemens should both make it; Sosa and McGwire are borderline HOFers either way.

I'm convince those four I singled out didn't break any rules, because they didn't.

Now if you think that the "steroid era" was the first time players did everything and anything to "get that extra edge" or illicit things then first of all :lol and https://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/article/magazine/MAG1082543/index.htm and https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=5314753

Pointing the finger of blame at the past is no reason to justify letting cheaters in now. We've got to draw the line somewhere.

So, lets allow some but not others?

I'm with Kev in the you either allow them all or none at all and Hank Aaron himself has said that players from his era that used should be kicked off the HoF (https://blogs.ajc.com/jeff-schultz-blog/2009/07/26/aaron-wants-past-steroid-users-exposed-banned-from-hall/), which makes snapple's post somewhat ironic.
