Do you think Gerrit Cole could end up getting to 200 wins (he's at 153 and entering age 35)? and by the time he is on the ballot would anybody care?
AvatarJay Jaffe

I think he can still reach 200, and it will be a huge deal if he does, as far as HOF stuff, because he's checked most of the other boxes already.

admittedly "challenge" trades are pretty rare...that said, sal perez is 35; would something like rushing and a secondary prospect for makiel garcia make sense?
AvatarJay Jaffe

I don't see it happening. The Dodgers love Max Muncy, who's comparatively inexpensive, and they're in no hurry to move Rushing.

You referenced Rollins WRT to Utley. Are you concerned that his superficially stronger case might hurt Utley's?
AvatarJay Jaffe

Hey Nick! I think it's the other way around. If Utley is getting support, maybe we ought to take another look at Rollins, who has bigger counting stats, more hardware, and was regarded as the leader of those teams.

I just saw a post from a writer saying they reached the end of their “10-year HoF voting eligibility.” When did they add a voter age-out clause?

In 2015, the Hall announced a decision to sunset voters more than 10 years removed from active coverage. Between that rule, media consolidation and job losses, the electorate has been reduced by about 1/3 relative to its peak circa 2011.

OK folks, that's all the pitches I have in this elbow this week. Thanks so much for stopping by. not sure yet if I'll do this next week due to the holiday — if not, enjoy Thanksgiving and know that I and the rest of my colleagues here at FanGraphs are always thankful for your support.
