Exactly, Ray. You can't use Perez as a bar for Rice. People were probably upset about the lowering of the bar for Perez and raised the bar at that point. If you move the bar to the next lowest guy each time, then it only goes down. And then do you ever adjust it? Do you go back and redo the guys who missed the bar the last time? Or the time before that? Or the time before that?

I'd agree that Perez is a very weak Hall candidate, but he got in, thereby establishing that a candidate with such average credentials gets in. It would be unfair to hold Rice to a different standard. > > -- Matt > --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Red Sox Citizens" group.
