Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

Justice was a very nice addition to the middle of the Braves, Indians, and Yankees orders during the 90's, but he never had an outstanding period of achievement, although he did have an MVP season in 93.  His .378 OBP and .500 slugging average are very nice numbers, but the lack of hits I think will come back to haunt him.  My case is that if Dale Murphy cannot make it, then David Justice has no chance at all.

He's not HoF material. I loved the guy as a Brave, and he wasn't a half-bad announcer, but 300 HRs and 1,500 hits does not an HoF career make.

Dale Murphy being excluded from the HoF is the 3rd greatest travesty of HoF exclusions, behind Shoeless Joe Jackson and Pete Rose. I know people will disagree with me but both of these players deserve to be in the Hall. Pete Rose is for nothing more than his statistics and meaning to the game itself as a player. Shoeless Joe is one of the greatest hitters of all time, and by most accounts, Ty Cobb did much worse things than Shoeless Joe, but he was under a different commish at the time.

Justice doesn't belong. That's the long and short of it. That said -- I'd give him a vote, only so he can hang the 2% showing in his office for his children to see. As tribute. I'd do the same for lots of players, like, say, Brad Radke, who don't belong at all.

Hey, jhamrahi. It's time for you to show up, right? Welcome. As for your question, I don't think so. I search his profile here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Justice to learn the whole story. He is a good player, but maybe at least for me, he could do better. His name has been sited on Mitchell report, though he tried to clear his name, and it seemed that taking HGH is a common thing, sometime it is good for enhancing the performance. But I firmly believe that HGH is a dead killer to smash anyone's career, of course including him.

DJ was a fine player and good guy to have in the clubhouse, but his numbers don't merit HOF consideration. Let's simply compare DJ's numbers to a few others who are not in the Hall and see how he stacks up:
Justice - .279 BA, 305 HR, 1017 RBi
Dale Murphy - .265 BA, 398 HR, 1266 RBi
Jim Rice - .298 BA, 382 HR, 1451 RBi
On the surface, DJ's numbers are slightly lower these the other two, but similar. But when you compare how DJ stacked up to his peers, you'll see he never won an MVP and only finished in the top-5 of MVP voting twice in his career. Murphy was the best player in his league twice and Rice won 1 MVP while finishing in the top-5 6 times. In addition, Murph won 5 Gold Gloves and 4 Silver Sluggers and was a 7-time All Star, Rice won 2 SS and was an 8-time All Star, while Justice won 2 SS and was a 3-time AS.
It is very difficult to compare players of different eras against each other, but you can compare how well a particular player did against his competition. Rice and Murph were greats of their day. Justice was just a really good player. No Hall for DJ!
