From "blessyouboys.com" (a Detroit Tiger dedicated site):

Despite several very deserving candidates on the 2013 Hall of Fame ballot, the self-righteous, self-aggrandizing, incompetent drama queens known as the BBWAA strikes again.

...It appears Morris and Trammell (along with criminally underrated Lou Whitaker) will have to pin their hall hopes on the Veteran's Committee in order to receive passage into to Cooperstown.

...and since my wife (a die-hard Tiger fan) isn't a member here, she won't see what I'm posting, but honestly...Morris? Trammell? When you look at the Tigers teams that they played on, as a whole, these two players were great... but when you compare them to the other players in MLB, they are mediocre. Whitaker was robbed, no doubt about it, but Morris and Trammell? They should feel lucky they received votes.
