Will Billy Wagner of the New York Mets be a Hall of Famer?

Answer 1

The problem with Billy Wagner being in the Hall of Fame is that he never dominated the game the way a great closer like Mariano Rivera has. When Mariano comes in, its like game over. If the all time save leader, Lee Smith, doesnt get in then i dont think Wagner deserves to make it.

Answer 2

At his current rate he won't be. I mean, right now he is in the prime of his career. It's not going to get much better than this. He's good, real good- but let's face it. If you had to pick a closer for your own team, would he be on the top of the list? Would he even be second on the list? I'd take Rivera, K-Rod, BJ Ryan, or Papelbon over him- just among people closing last year. Wagner has always been VERY good but he's never been the best. And the Hall of Fame is for the best.

Answer 3

No. Unlike Rivera, Wagner's saves have rarely been meaningful. Just regular season games with little effect on a pennant race.

Answer 4

Some people its about the stats, he has the stats but is the total opposite of clutch, you dont get in on stats alone unless they r unfathomable like Marino (i know nfl)

Answer 5

Yep. Keeping his career ERA under 2.50 and nearing 400 saves will get him there sooner or later

Answer 6

No unless he has some amazing years ahead of him. Its harder for Relievers to get in than hitters or starters.

Answer 7

Its to early to put him in that catagory yet, but he very well could be if he keeps pitching the way he has.

Answer 8

No

Answer 9

hell yea,


GO METS!!!!!!!!!!!
