		<description><![CDATA[Once again the Baseball Writers’ Association of America (BBWAA) erodes any remaining credibility with its 2012 National Baseball Hall of Fame nominations.&#160; Six out of 13 of first-year candidates have a career average WAR (avgWAR) of below 2.00, which Baseball-Reference.com categorizes as “reserve.” Tony Womack comes in with an avgWAR of 0.15.&#160; I guess he [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Jeff Bagwell tops the list again for Baseball Hall of Fame candidates.  None of the first-year 2012 candidates makes the cut. Brian Jordan leads the pack of non-worthy rookies, largely due to an impressive defensive WAR. Tony Womack looks to be this year&#8217;s Lenny Harris.
