I saw that Fred McGriff was on the Beckett Marketplace Hot list. Why would he show up now?

I think he's up for HOF voting this year (but don't quote me on that)? Plus he is the Crime Dawg and looked a lot like Eddie Murphy when he played with the Blue Jays ... so he's got that too I guess.
<edit> It might have been Willie Upshaw that looked like Eddie Murphy, or maybe they both did . <edit>

I think Rolen was deserving as well. Fantastic all-around player in my opinion.

Watch this in case you forget Rolen on defense...add in a great hitter and I think he's worthy. Not everyone in the hall is Ted Williams or Greg Maddux.
Also, watch Rolen's HOF speech from last Sunday and you will see he is a hall of fame human. Pujols said he would be telling his kids that he "played with Scott Rolen" some day. And McGriff's speech was even better!

I'm mostly organizing over adding right now.
