The Baseball Hall of Fame just welcomed three new legends: Billy Wagner, Ichiro Suzuki, and CC Sabathia. While Wagner's induction is a significant milestone for Braves fans, it also raises some intriguing questions about the Hall's voting process and the future of other deserving players like Andruw Jones and Brian McCann, who fell short this year.

What do you think about Wagner's induction? Was he truly deserving of a spot in Cooperstown, or do you believe his time in Atlanta was too brief to warrant such an honor?

Moreover, with the recent trends in Hall of Fame voting, do you think we are witnessing a shift in how players are evaluated? Are traditional stats becoming less relevant compared to advanced metrics?

Looking ahead, who do you think will be the next Braves player to make it into the Hall of Fame? Will it be someone from the current roster, or do you think we need to wait for the next generation of players?

And let's not forget about the other names on the ballot. Should the Hall of Fame reconsider how they evaluate players like Jones and McCann? What criteria do you think should be prioritized in the voting process?
