Troy Renck of the Denver Post published a column on Thursday listing the reasons why he didn't cast a Hall of Fame vote for Larry Walker.

Renck is a longtime beat reporter following the Rockies.

"Walker's omission (from my ballot) has nothing to do with PEDs. He just didn't play enough or care enough. His statistics come up slightly short, and his absence from games by choice, not injury (like missing nearly a week one season to prepare for lasik surgery), was an annual issue. Had he played more, his numbers would have required admission into the Hall," Renck writes.
