CATCHER
The first position we will look at is catcher. Shown below is a chart of all of the catchers enshrined in the BBA HOF, along with their career stats. The green filled box indicates they are above their positional average, the red or white indicates they are below the average.
This chart shows how far away from the average each player is at a given stat. 1.00 is exactly the mean, higher numbers are good, lower numbers are bad. This is not a perfect chart because it gives every stat the exact same weight, which isnt exactly accurate but it gives a decent picture of what we are looking at.

Re: HOF Analysis: Catcher
These are fun to think about. Catcher is always controversial for so many reasons, not the least (as I said in Chris's poll) that defense is never displayed here except to the extent that you trust OOTP's version of WAR. And for catchers even that would be deeply wrong because the modern versions of OOTP do a lot more for catchers when it comes to auxillary skills of framing and whatnot. They also generally play fewer games, so will collect fewer counting stats.
Brinkman, for example, will always be one who people scratch their heads at. His offensive numbers are fairly clearly out of bounds from the rest.
