(he joins fred mcgriff, who was voted in by the veteran players or whatever it’s called)
anyway, fucking dumb
Scott deserves it, but no excuse of him being the only one.
Wagner, Helton, Kent, all should be in, and can easily argue a case for Jones, Sheffield and Beltran.
BBWAA are fucking retarded.

Scott Rolen was very good for a long time
but dude cracked the top 10 for NL MVP voting...once (4th place, 2004)
Which also goes back to how bad writers are. But then again, Barry Bonds had a death grip on the MVP vote for a few years, then Pujols. Still he should have had more top 5 mvp votes.
All I'm saying is that Scott Rolen had 0 top 3 MVP finishes while BRAUN did it 3 times, including a win, while piling up more homers, almost twice as many steals and nearly 40 points better career OPS
(and they both won NL ROY at 3rd base)
(also braun never popped hot on an admissible-by-MLB-objective-standards PED test)
why wasn’t the test admissible
Rolen though is propped up by the fact he was arguably a top 5 defender during his time. Defensive WAR he's 45th all time, with a total career WAR of 70.1. Being an above average batter with a low strike out rate, while playing great defense at a premium position can put you over. If Omar Vizquel didn't turn out to be a wife beater, he'd probably be in as well.
Andrew Jones not cracking 60% is absurd. A shame the last half of his career was so bad compared to his ridiculous first half.
plan b: not just for babies
