The writers can vote for whomever they want, as long as they are considered rookies by the rules.

I would have left him off the ballot too. And Ichiro. And Sasaki. And Nomo.

I am a believer in the NHL idea of an age limit (theirs is 25). That way it allows for late-bloomers and such to have a shot while not letting guys who played at a level almost equivilent to the MLB (officially considered somewhere between AAA and the majors) for a decade doesn't come over here to fight for the same award as a 22-year old kid.

Do you have a problem with how, say, Hall of Fame balloting is done? MVP awards? All are done in a similar fashion. Guys get screwed all the time. Get over it.
