KC Votes for
Cormier and Garland, and for a carryover player I vote Sorrento.
Canizaro reminds me soooo much of Paul Konerko, great player for the team, will never have to pay for drinks in Chicago, but just not "great" enough to be enshrined. Ring of honor, here we come.

Sherling, Hampton, Banks, Garland, and Cormier as of now. I will look at it closer after Christmas. Not sure how Sorrento gets a vote and Canizaro doesn't. Splitting hairs on the stats. Canizaro more hits, HRs, and RBI's than Sorrento. I feel either both or neither. That is what I am chewing on.

ST LOUIS votes for
Cormier
Sorrento
Canizaro
Garland (for those of you that don't bother to check, yes Garland did lead the league in ERA in 1984 and did not make the All Star Team)

Texas votes:
Paul Garland
Rheal Cormier
Paul Garland
Bill Sorrento
Tough ballot, I may switch or add a few as well before the voting ends, tough to separate the starting pitchers, and to partially answer Captain's question of voting for Sorrento and not Canizaro, for me even though they ended up with similar numbers, Sorrento did it in about 1200 less at bats, and had a much better AVG and OPS...
