Billy Wagner pitched 903 innings. 903! How can anyone vote for him for the Hall of Fame?

MLB Network has people supporting relief pitcher Billy Wagner for the Hall of Fame. The baseball Hall of Fame! The guy threw only 903 innings in his entire 16 year MLB career.

903

Are these people insane? Start voting for:

backup catcher

utility infielder

fourth outfielder

pinch runner.

16 years. 903 innings. Max 86 in 2003. He was so tired, the next year he threw 48.

This makes my teeth hurt.

Oh, wait. Billy Wagner threw more innings in the post season tournaments. Eleven more innings. And ERA 10.03. Yeah, Billy Wagner is a real Hall of Fame candidate.

Argh.
