The Cincinnati Reds had three players on the Hall of Ballot who probably didn’t deserve strong consideration. Mike Cameron, Orlando Cabrera, and Arthur Rhodes were all on the ballot for the first time. None received a vote. None are perennial National League MVP candidate, Joey Votto, exactly, either. Votto should make the Hall no problem.
Mike Cameron is known for two things. He was an elite defensive center fielder and he was the centerpiece of the trade where the Reds got Ken Griffey Jr. from the Seattle Mariners. He also was the player that the Reds got from the Chicago White Sox for Paul Konerko, a likely Hall of Famer in his own right.
