MFS62 Old-Timey Member Posted November 26, 2014 Posted November 26, 2014 Cast my tenth vote for Walker.Later
Edgy MD Site Manager Posted November 26, 2014 Posted November 26, 2014 I'm assuming that, so far, 27 posters voted in this thread. Therefore, a candidate would need 21 votes for HOF admission based on the current voting (75% of 27 votes = 20.25; 20 votes constitutes 74% of the vote).So far, six candidates received enough votes for admission: Randy Johnson (27)Mike Piazza (27)Pedro Martinez (26)Craig Biggio (25)John Smoltz (22)Tim Raines (21)______________Jeff Bagwell (18)Barry Bonds (13)Alan Trammell (13)Roger Clemens (11)Edgar Martinez (10)Good work.Anybody didn't vote for Johnson or Piazza, please raise your hands. Else, we'll indeed assume that our leaders' totals do indeed represent our denominator.

batmagadanleadoff Old-Timey Member Posted November 26, 2014 Posted November 26, 2014 Also... I'm kind of curious who left off Pedro, just, y'know, because.[fimg=444]http://caseymarketingservices.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/vote-for-pedro.jpg[/fimg]I didn't vote in this thread, but if I did, or if I had a real HOF ballot, I might omit Pedro. Here's why: if I decide that there are more than 10 deserving candidates --- and Pedro would surely be one of those deserving candidates, he's a no-doubter, inner circle HOF'er --- I'd winnow my list of candidates to 10 based on how long each candidate was HOF eligible, descending order. I'd give players like Raines and Trammell and (Edgar) Martinez priority over newer eligibles, like Pedro.
Zvon Old-Timey Member Posted November 26, 2014 Posted November 26, 2014 My list went:Craig Biggio Randy Johnson Jeff Kent Edgar Martinez Pedro Martinez Mike Piazza Curt Schilling Gary Sheffield Lee Smith John Smoltz That was off the top of my head. I didn't go comparing numbers or anything like that. If I seriously checked career stats and whatnot my list might be a little different, but not much.
Gwreck Old-Timey Member Posted December 23, 2014 Posted December 23, 2014 I was surprised to see so few votes for Edgar Martinez.I thought Jay Jaffe's piece for SI was a very good read on Martinez's worthiness of induction: http://www.si.com/mlb/2014/12/23/jaws-2015-hall-of-fame-ballot-edgar-martinez
