	Alan Trammell: HOF or NOT? [Merged Threads] - NetShrine Discussion Forum
		I think Trammell's issue is that there was nothing flashy about him (which, to me is a good thing - but bad for public P.R.) and that fact that, once he truned 30, he always seemed to miss a good chunk of the season.
		I think Trammell suffers from something similar to Gossage - back in his day, his hitting was outstanding for a SS - now it's par for the course (just like in Goose's time, 30 saves was great, now anyone that pitches 60 innings or so on a decent team can get 30 saves).
		Trammell to Whitaker might've been the best modern DP combo, especially due to their time together allowing them to be such a great combo.

		Alan Trammell's ouster as the Detroit Tigers' manager still has a lot of you talking, and for good reason.
		I'll admit letting Trammell go probably was the right thing to do, but to call him a pathetic coach is a reach, and to say he wasn't even trying is ridiculous.
		Alan is coaching little kids, and Ernie makes the comment to stop doing that because it will get them fired.

	The Oakland Press: Sports Columnists: Tide turns
		Trammell got his first real dose of "hate-the-manager'' syndrome last week when the Tigers, with expectations raised, lost five games in a row.
		Whatever, Trammell was guility as charged, amplifying thoughts he doesn't adjust quickly enough to manage on the major-league level because he had never managed before at any level.
		And Trammell is clear about this: He expects no special treatment because of his status as one of the Tigers' all-time great players.

	A Tribute to Alan Trammell
		Although I never met him, Trammell was by all accounts a good person, and hopefully he'll remain associated with the Tigers whether in the front office, as a coach, or as a commentator.
		Back in the 80s I always felt Alan Trammell didn't get enough respect in the media, and when Tram finished 2nd to Taco Bell in the '87 MVP vote, I was even more perturbed.
		My favorite Trammel memory is when he hit a two out grand slam in the bottom of the ninth to beat the Yankees 7-6 in a rather meaningless mid June game from the 80s.

	My 2002 Hall of Fame Ballot: Trammell & Smith \| BaseballLibrary.com
		Alan Trammell was a better shortstop than Ozzie Smith was.
		Essentially this means that Alan Trammell, from an offensive perspective, is a near perfect example of the post-WWII Hall of Fame shortstop.
		In his two ALCSs, Trammell posted a.813 OPS, so that's pretty much a wash. The tiebreaker is World Series play, in which Smith posted an atrocious OPS of just.435, while Trammell posted a whopping 1.300 and won the Series MVP in 1984.

	BootlegSports.com - MLB: The Hall of Fame Case for Alan Trammell
		Trammell's three most comparable players (among players that are retired) are Lou Whitaker, Tony Fernandez and Ryne Sandberg, even adjusting for position (885, 868, 868 on a scale of 1000 being perfect comps), he has to be compared to two 2B, because there just weren't many SS's that hit like Trammell.
		For a 5-year run, Trammell rolled up 132 WS (1983-87) to Ozzie's 123 WS Again if there is ANY evidence (besides fielding runs, which are unrecoverably misconstructed) that Ozzie was more than 17 wins better with the leather than Trammell I'd like to see it.
		Trammell is light years ahead offensively, and he was very good defensively, four Gold Gloves from 1980-84.

		While the Wizard of Oz was inducted, Trammell was named on 15.7 percent of ballots cast, still a sore spot among a few longtime Tiger fans who believed Trammell's substance didn't receive enough attention compared to Smith's flash.
