| Pettitte, Posada, and Williams are almost locks. Williams put up better numbers that Mattingly. Posada is likely a hall of fame catcher. Pettitte dominated in the post season.
Side note: The Blue Jays and Mariners have yet to retire any numbers based on their requirements. Once Griffey's number is retired, Martinez will have his done. After Ichiro goes into the Hall of Fame, they could easily do an Ichiro and Randy Johnson day retiring the 51 that both wore.
Sabathia is a toss up, but he's been dominant so far, and they'll give him the money until he either faulters, or retires. I see the ladder coming first. |
