AltiTwo Talk Show – Is Larry Walker Hall-Worthy?

The latest episode of the ATTS starts with Isaac and Logan giving their two cents on the Dickerson-McGee trade after letting their emotions simmer for 48 hours.  While attempting to keep their emotions in check, they manage to talk themselves (and hopefully other Rockies fans) off the Party Deck ledge.  That being said, there are still a few emotional moments where they mourn the departure of the latest in a long line of offensively-gifted Rockies left fielders.

The AltiTwo then turn their attention to Larry Walker‘s Hall of Fame case.  Isaac, always the optimist, tries to make an argument for Larry’ induction.  Logan explains why he thinks #33 doesn’t warrant that level of recognition.  Using comparisons to Jeff Bagwell and Vladimir Guerrero, the guys try to determine Larry’s place among the greats of his era with whom he shares the ballot (or will shortly).

The discussion sparks memories of their childhood hero, while ultimately they draw a line in their own personal sand that Larry Walker’s bust doesn’t deserve the Cooperstown treatment.

Feedback is always welcome!  Do you think McGee is just what the Rockies need?  Do you think keeping Larry Walker out of the Hall is a travesty?  Let us know in the comments below, email us at AltiTwoTalkShow@gmail.com, or tweet us at @AltiTwo.  If you have any funny pictures of 90’s baseball players’ mullets, we would like to see those as well.

Next: The Real Value of DJ LeMahieu

When DJ LeMahieu first joined the club, he seemed like the classic middle infielder who is out there for his glove and hits for an acceptable average. He wasn’t expected to do enough to warrant anything more than the seventh or eighth spot in the lineup. And for the last few years, LeMahieu has more-or-less held true to the stereotype.
