Jim Rice's Hall Chances

Shaughnessy of the Boston Globe thinks this is the year.

Rob Neyer of ESPN does not.

I think he is a borderline H.O.F. player but the release of the Mitchell Report has helped his chances. Most sports reporters outside of the Hub have been hesitant to vote for him so I tend to agree with Rob Neyer that he will not get in even though it would be great if he did. I posted earlier on Rice's numbers.
