Rivera obviously.

I think it’s Edgar’s last year, so would think he makes it.

Halladay’s death probably bodes well for his chances; might also give Mussina a boost, since it’s hard to say that Halladay was a much better pitcher (although Doc had a more memorable peak).

Wonder how many people will care/remember Pettitte did HGH.

I think Rivera, Edgar and Halladay make it.

I think Mussina *just* misses, but gets 70%+. IMO Glavine, Halladay, Mussina, Smoltz and Schilling are all equivalent pitchers over a career.

I think Clemens, Bonds and Schilling all move up in % a bit.

Pettitte will do well, but won't get in ever

What do you think about the Veterns ballot? I hate having players and non-players on the same ballot.

I think Lee Smith gets in. Maybe Steinbrenner/Piniella depending on who’s in the committee (doesn’t look like it was announced yet).

Bizarre to have Hershiser on this list but no Cone/Saberhagen/Brown.

Harold Baines

Albert Belle

Joe Carter

Will Clark

Orel Hershiser

Davey Johnson

Charlie Manuel

Lou Piniella

Lee Smith

George Steinbrenner

Smith and Baines make it; Pineilla misses by one vote. Baines got 12/16, which was the minimum needed (Smith was unanimous).

Great committee make up for Baines. Asshole Reinsdorf now fucking up the hall of fame as well. I guess maybe be feels bad for forcing the strike in 94 which ended up costing Baines a shot at 3,000 hits?

The Hall board-appointed panel included longtime White Sox owner Jerry Reinsdorf, and Baines said he was grateful for his support. Hall members Greg Maddux, Roberto Alomar, Joe Morgan, Bert Blyleven, Pat Gillick, Tony La Russa, John Schuerholz, Ozzie Smith and Joe Torre also were on the panel.

I think the following SHOULD get in:

Edgar

Clemens

Bonds

Schilling

Halladay

Rivera

Maybe:

Todd Helton - he and Larry Walker were criominally underrated BECAUSE of Coors - his peak is on par w/ the avg 1st basemen in the hall.

Mussina - peak was not THAT good - but a long career of being excellent. I personally wouldn't (would rather have someone who absolutely dominated for a few years over longevity) but I can see an argument for him

LOL NOPE:

Omar Vizquel - longevity, and good defense at SS but ultimately he's the hall of very good

Roy Oswalt - Nope

Andy PEttitte - LOL please. If he weren't a Yankee no one would care

cr.

also, i don't like determining a guy's HOF candidacy based on not winning a major award. for one, selections aren't perfect, especially with hindsight.

but second, it harms guys for having their best years behind outliers. imagine having your two best pitching years during pedro's 99-00? how does that make one less worthy of a HOF vote?

Fine I concede on that one point, but Mussina never had more than 2 seasons of absolute dominance.

He was a constant frontline starter, but never the best 5 pitcher on earth.

I want the starters that make it to the HOF to be in that conversation.

Like I value shorter but sustained dominance over a long, above avg career. I'd even put Scherzer ahead of Mussina

Verlander will be fucked b/c he got 2nd place in CYA when he should've at least won in 2016 but he also had a longer sustained conversation as the best 5 pitcher in the world status

I don't like the fact that Smoltz is in tbh - he only got in b/c he had a good stint as a reliever as well

Glavine got lucky b/c he played w/ Maddux. Otherwise I'd categorize him w/ Mussina. Does not belong.

The baseball writers and the veterans committee have made a mess of the hall. I get your sentiment, but it’s dumb to argue about making the hall exclusive when they just wave in people like Hoffman and Jack Morris.

I also got the impression that the biggest supporters of the small hall were guys who played from the 40s-70s and didn’t earn a ton of money (and thus could cash in on their HOF status).

but guys like Schilling and Halladay and Mussina and Rivera are WAY better than Morris and Hoffman, and their stats and accomplishments prove that.

so by putting them in you're not lowering standards to their level. those guys all compare favorably with the bulk of the Hall.

fwiw i was VERY VERY anti-Hoffman, and I'm actually shocked he got in.

my position is that mistakes have been made in the past, that doesnt mean we should anchor ourselves to them. going forward, we should have a HOF which really only reflects the true legends of the game. By that standard, yeah Halladay was better than Hoffman by miles, but he was no Griffey, no Pedro, no generational talent. I leave him out. Sucks for him but oh well

i'd argue that being a top-tier player for a very long stretch is just as elite and hard as being the very best for a few years.

in fact, in some respects, the former is preferable if you're playing GM because you can build a team around consistent excellency. high peaks with big drops leads to overpaying and bad contracts and can wreck teams.

arguments like the one above used over time and applied to all different types of players is exactly how you get a big hall.

he has 549 HRs and the media behind him. he'll make it in (even though i think he shouldn't) unless he's held out bc of PEDs.

I think this will be the year Clemens gets in (!) He will get in and Bonds won't and people will go nuts over racism and then they'll vote in Bonds next year.

Rivera will get in for sure.

I don't think Edgar should get in but he probably will.

Mussina will probably get in too (and should get in).

Schilling should be in but will be dinged for being a right-winger (and a general asshole)

Walker also should go in but will be dinged too.

Recycling the Jim Rice fear argument isn’t helping.

Also “fear” is a dumb argument for Edgar, since his best skill was OBP (lifetime .418); Ortiz only beat that mark in a single season once.

That being said, no issues with them both being in.

Schilling won't get in, I don't think, and that is a shame. He won in Philly, Arizona and Boston. I don't know how he shapes up analytically but he was an iconic pitcher during the era. I like him as a player better than Mussina-- too bad he has the rep of being an asshole and I am sure that BBWA are not fond of his politics.

I think he gets in first ballot because of the 3,000 hits plus the voters better appreciate defense/advanced stats. The HOF has been historically biased against 3B though - I guess people compare them offensively to 1B without considering how much harder it is to play?

With 30 votes in so far Mussina is a net +5 from last year. He is going to be really close, though I think he will just miss and will get in next year.

Schilling gaining, and Halladay doing very well in his first year on the ballot.

Rivera, Edgar and Halladay seem like they are getting in

Mussina is going to be very close. seems like he will be over 70% at this point, but who knows.

Schilling needs to be well over 75% on revealed ballots to have a shot, and he's not there yet. Same with Clemens and Bonds.

Good bump.

Mussina will be very close. He will definitely need to be above 80% prior to the non-public ballots being announced. If he's below 80% he has no shot, but if he doesn't get in this year he will surely get in the following year.

He's a birdshit fraud, before going to COL he NEVER had hit more than 23 homers then he proceeded to do 36, 18 (injury year, in 83 games), 49, 23, 37, injured, 38, and 26

LJL at that fraud, he was in the mile high air.. i remember that bitch and since he was left handed he had a shorter right field porch

fuk fraud cumskins like this asshole, he also looks like a pedo and probably voted for trump and he didnt even clear 400h for his career

Tracker is updated now at 38.3% of likely ballots

https://onedrive.live.com/view.aspx?resid=F2E5D8FC5199DFAF!11134&ithint=file,xlsx&app=Excel&authkey=!ACeqm-knNxexBw8

a couple thoughts

1. The Crime Dog is getting a big boost in his final year. It won't be near enough to get elected, but he's getting some love for a good career. Query what % he'd have with 7 more HRs and thus a member of the 500 HR club. I'd have to think it wouldn't matter, but who knows.

2. Larry Walker has also received a huge bump in his 9th year. He's currently at 66.5%. It might be an interesting vote next year if Walker ends this year above 50%, though I think he still falls short.

3. Mussina holding nicely at 82.9%. If he's going to have a chance for induction, I think he can't need more than 60% on the non-public ballots at the end. Given that ~75% are usually revealed, he needs to be at 80% or above on the released ballots. If he's there, I think it's a coinflip.

4. Anyone voting FOR Mussina and not for Schilling is doing so purely because of politics, and that's repellent.

5. Omar Vizquel is at 36.1% currently in his 2nd year on the ballot and was the only player to get a very significant bump last year from the non-public ballots. Omar Vizquel should not SNIFF he Hall of Fame. He was a good defensive shortstop, but he was not otherwise a very valuable player. His career WAR at 45.6 is low, and his career WAA at 5.3 is abysmal. He has good counting stats, but those were helped by playing poorly in old age. His last 6 seasons had an aggregate WAR of 0.6, and without those he doesn't even have 2500 hits.

Why does this guy predict 0% chance for Clemens/Bonds when the spreadsheet shows them getting close to 75% of the known votes? Doesn't that give them at least a nonzero chance?

I guess it's because the subset of people who choose to publish their ballots also voted for Clemens/Bonds at the same rate last year so it's not showing a positive change for Clemens/Bonds?

Thanks to the Veterans committe vote, there’s already 5 people going in this year - wonder if some voters want to hold off on Mussina til next year, when only Jeter is a lock. It will also be Larry Walkers last year on the ballot - interesting to see where he ends up this year.

Veterans committe will go back to the modern game era, which elected Trammel and Jack Morris last time. Wonder if they will try to forcememe Dale Murphy into the hall? I think Lou Whitaker would be deserving, but they didn’t even put him on the ballot last time!

Yeah, I feel you. I think Mussina def gets in next year at worst. You also have Schilling, Bonds and Clemens who are getting closer to election.

Walker although he is high right now, will drop back and be in the 50s for the final vote. I don't think he will have enough support to get in next year, even though I think he's deserving. He's a guy who would benefit from 15 years on the ballot.

Lou Whitaker is one of those guys who was a very valuable player, but just has so little black ink and barely got any support for major awards. Dale Murphy is the opposite -- lots of hardware, but advanced stats are very down on him.

Will be interesting next year with Walker - bwar actually has him a half win more valuable than Jeets (fwar has Jeter by 4 wins or so).

I feel like this is either an argument in favor of Walker or against WAR (although obviously Jeter like Rivera has the playoffs in his favor too).

all the more reason he just needs to get off the ballot and be voted in.

silver's model is by @baseballot, who has Mussina up 1 point from 73 to 74 in a day

6pm tonight. Mussina is gonna be razor thin. hope he gets it if for no other reason than the ballot needs some space, and Moose getting in will hopefully and rightfully get Schilling in

he definitely should!

btw a Red Sox writer just voted after saying he wasn't going to vote at all because he wouldn't vote for Rivera.

he decided to include Rivera, but no Edgar, Mussina and Schilling. did manage to vote for Manny Ramirez though.

Wanna know why he voted? so that he could vote for David Ortiz.

God damn fucking Boston people are the worst.

2021 will be interesting. No first ballot guys.

Bonds, Schilling, Sosa and Clemens in year 9 if not elected next year. A-Rod and Ortiz looming in 2022 as well.

Sosa has no chance.

Schilling will get in next year imo, particularly so if Moose gets in this year.

Bonds and Clemens I think will need to go to year 10 to get in. How they fare will determine A-Rod.

Ortiz is a joke and should not get in.

Is Rivera going to be unanimous or not? Chances some voter leaves hik off just so he's not the first? That happened to Ripken right.

I agree he shouldn't be if nobody else has been. But does that excuse being a faggot and leaving him off just to make sure he's not unanimous? How can you say he's not deserving ?

I mean in a vacuum I agree with you. There's probably one player every 5 years who deserves to be unanimous.

Greg Maddux only had 97.2% of the vote. How on Earth was he not unanimous? I'd vote for him over Rivera in a heartbeat, and I think Rivera is a lock first ballot guy.

But given that the precedent is there re "first ballot" and "unanimous", at this point I can see the rationale behind not making anyone unanimous for tradition's sake.
