I expect a full 10 for me, but I also think well be lucky if one person gets in. We have a crop of GMs who really really don't want to elect people to the Hall. Which is weird to say because I'm not even a Large Hall guy -- I just think we have a lot of deserving folks right now.

People look at WAR and that's it. Take just a little bit of time to view the entire context of the player, please.

Wow… how did the HOF get this… constipated? I used to think, 500 homers, okay, you’re in. This year there are guys with 500 homers that aren’t even in my top 12.

My reliever bias worked against de' Medici. His peak years, when he was striking out 2 put of every 3 batters, we're outstanding. I'll keep a more open mind next year. I went heavy on offensive players with my votes.

de Medici and O'Macken are #1 and #2 in all time holds and #2 and #3 in WPA. When they pitched, your team was gonna win. de Medici is #2 all time in RP Ks behind just HOF' er Ken Howell. O'Macken is #9 in Ks by a RP.

And less than most HoF SPs?

I was honest about my bias. I am not saying I stand behind it. :)

Potentially if remained a Bluebird, but he was getting 50 or more innings fewer with other teams’ usage. The years he was throwing 160 IP…man he was nasty.
