Adam Jones first year of HOF eligibility in 2025

[Fiver6565]

I was a big fan of Adam, but he is not a HOFer on any level if you ask me.  Really good career on a resurgent O's team at the time, but not even close to a HOF one.

Love #10... but I don't see HOF.

[DirtyBird]

nope

[Bahama O's Fan]

I mean it's not Hall of Fame anymore, it's Hall of Good. Jones is one of ours, why not try?

[Sports Guy]

He shouldn’t even get enough votes to stay on the ballot but I do love that he is trying to out voters and saying they should all make their votes public because it’s an awful process and these idiots should be held accountable for their stupidity.

I liked Jones but never saw him as this good. He wont get the votes. 

[ChosenOne21]

Yeah, Jones would have had to double his career WAR to be a shoo-in for the Hall. Great baseball player, but not an all-time great.

As others have said, Jones will always have a special place in the heart of O's fans, but he's not a HOF player.

It took Todd Helton until this year to get in.  Love Jonesy but he’s not a HOFer.

I love me some AJ, but campaigning for him to get into the HOF would be like backing Ralph Nader as President in the late 90s (i.e., an exercise in futility).

Orioles HoF, sure, 1st ballot let's go. Regular HoF, not in the conversation. At just 32.6 rWAR and 106 OPS+, he was a very good player but not a HoF worthy player. Now don't get me wrong, Harold Baines' inclusion has watered own the HoF a bit (i know Drungo will now tell us 80 more guys who played that were worse but still), but Jones belongs in the hall of pretty good.

Love Adam, but his WAR is even lower than Jim Rice and Harold Baines

I think that iconic picture from the WBC should be in the Hall.

"Adam Jones headlines the 2048 Hall of Fame class. Once a prominent center fielder, he went on to manage the Baltimore Orioles from 2030-2042. They won the World Series three times during his managerial tenure and he was twice named AL Manager of the Year. He is beloved by the city of Baltimore for his work on and off the field."
