Doubt fernando will be put into the HoF. He had 6 great seasons but i dont think its quite enough to make it.
I'm not sure about the Hall of fame, as a Dodgers, fan he should be, he won a Cy young award. So there's that.
If Gavin Lux, or CT3 won a world series M.V.P award their haters would have a conniption fit, like this season over CT3 being on the roster, this season.
The hall of fame needs to be based on objective stats, and his stats aren't quite there
Fernando Valenzuela is a trailblazer for Latinos and all of baseball. Almost half of Dodger fans are of Latin descent now. Baseball ambassador in Latin American countries. Most influential LA Dodger ever. I used to think a long the way of, “he doesn’t have the numbers.” After realizing his value to the history of baseball outside of the United States, I say he’s HOF worthy.

I love the Dodgers, but I think they don't have the starting pitching to beat the Yankees… everyone knows the advantage Dodgers have over the Yankees is the bullpen, but the bullpen can only play a big role if the Dodgers have the lead after the fifth or six inning… Yankees led the MLB in first inning runs, of course with Soto and Judge… but I don't believe in Flaherty or Yamamoto to keep the Yankees off the board and definitely not Buehler… Yamamoto has the most upside off the three….
If the Dodgers lineup can get to Yankees starting pitching, then the advantage goes back to the Dodgers… but.. don't sleep on this Yankees team.. they are really good…
