Who Gets YOUR HOF Vote?

[usnspecialist]

Here are a list of players that will probably appear on an HOF ballot when they retire. The statistics listed are favorite toy projections, along with their current WAR/Season total. The numbers in parenthesis are were those totals would place them on the current leaderboard (assuming nobody else moves), which is why you see multiple totals with the same projected place. TOB=times on base (hits+walks)

What I am looking for is simple, mark the players that you would vote for in the HOF assuming those career totals were on the ballot. I have left out any names to attempt and remove bias, but know that all of these guys have at least 10 seasons of experience, so they are all on the backside of their careers. The information in parenthesis is a general assessment of their defense as well as position. The slash lines are OBP/SLG/OPS, and represent their current career numbers (same goes for OPS+, WRC+ as there is no way to project those out). I have also included season awards as well as ASG appearances.

Vote for as many guys as you want, and if you want to take a crack and guess who some of these guys are go ahead. I will let the guys remain anonymous until it is pretty clear voting is done, and then post the names. I have enabled revoting so if you want to change your votes you can.

Voted but would need rate stats and narrative (awards, championships, etc.) before locking in any YES or NOs.

On numbers alone, it's a NO on Player J but I'd need to see his ranks among HoF catchers to better judge.

For catchers see the chart linked below. Not all categories are identical but gives you a general idea.

Yeah, I'm struck by how much I want rate stats and the rest of the things that make up the story of a player. I've got to do some real thinking here.

Thanks for that...I would say extremely borderline. Sticking with NO vote for now.

[usnspecialist]

Do you guys want /162 stats (with rankings) or just the basic OBP/SLG/OPS? Either way you need to wait until I wake up in the morning lol.

[CTBrewCrew]

Great poll - I need to look at this on larger screen at home...phone too small

BA/OBP/SLG/OPS+/WRC+

tough to say without them

I think @jleddy is crazy for wanting "narrative", but I do agree with him on wanting rate stats.

[usnspecialist]

updated to reflect the will of the people. OBP/SLG/OPS, OPS+, WRC+, total seasons, Silk, Puckett, Zimmer and ASG totals added.
