With a record of 109-23 (.826) and six Big 12 championships in 10 seasons, Stoops has reason to be arrogant. But he is not. He is somewhere between humble and unimpressed.

And he ended another with a ground out to Keith FoulkeOriginally Posted by Collier11
Just imagine there's a really obnoxious graphical sig here
to me, very good career, but not HOF.
JMHO
Just going to depend on who else is eligible when his time is up? I think there is a case there for him. He's by no means an automatic lock, but he has had a really great career. There has been a lot of talk about him retiring after this season, but who knows if that will change now?
yeah, none of those stats are HoF material...Thats like saying Robert Horry is HoF material, except Horry did it a lot more often in his sport

2 winning series AB ain't much for HOF.
same with 5x all-star & 2x gold glove. andruuw jones has 10 or 11 gold glove, he's surely not in.
.288 batting average not HOF, altho i'm sure many in HOF have lower averages. not trying to bad-mouth him, but just going by the above mentioned items, don't think he's in.
shrimp on tha barbie!!!
Walk on through the wind, walk on through the rain, tho' your dreams be tossed and blown, walk on.
no, he is not.
giants didn't even pick up his option.
the problem with Renteria is that he's an every one out of two to three year player. He's had some pretty pedestrian years in both the field and at the plate. He's been fortunate to be a solid defensive SS on some good teams to win his titles.
Not slamming him, but he's as much HoF material as Jermaine Dye.
well remember I put in my initial post that I didnt think he was either, he has had some amazing moments for one player though

unfortunately for Renteria I remember his pedestrian seasons in the American League where he wasn't even in the top half of shortstops either offensively or defensively.
I don't really think anyone would pay him the $9MM he is due so I'm not really surprised. WS performance aside, his durability is a serious factor at this point. It's easier to just pay his buyout price and then try and renegotiate a deal that's fair to both the Giants and Renteria if he wants to continue playing.
It's going to be a similar situation with Vlad and the Rangers. I think the team has an option this year for around $9MM or a 500M-1MM buyout. While Vlad had a good season numbers wise, he isn't worth that much money and he can't play the OF any more. Save the $8MM and use it to go after Carl Crawford. That way you could rotate the DH throughout your 4 OF guys in Hamilton, Nellie, Crawford, and Murphy.
I dont know, Vlad was a HUGE reason why that team made it so far this year, I think $9mill is a pretty fair price in baseballs market for a guy who puts up .300, 29 and 115

The fact that the Rangers have an owner who actually knows baseball makes me think this might happen. Im actually excited to see what they do in the offseason, instead of dreading another horrible pitcher coming in.
his numbers fell off in the 2nd half & the WS.
plus, he ain't young.
yeah I don't see $9M being in the cards for Vlad anymore....he's looking at likely 3-5 + incentives.
not really a bad salary. especially for batting 4 to 5 times/game.
The MVP for a World Series is his reward for some clutch world series performances. Not HOF.
