[POLL] 2015 DVDVR HALL OF FAME BALLOT

[RIPPA]

It's much better if you look at it as "The Top 10 would be what our submitted ballot would be"

[OSJ]

No, if I interpret the numbers correctly, Unit, Pedro, Bonds, & Piazza are in with Smoltz on the bubble. While I deplore the lack of support for Alan Trammell, I realize that a lot of you guys never saw him play and are just comparing stats with modern players, which doesn't make him look so good. While there are more deserving players on the list, an induction of these four (or five) is easily something that I would get behind.

So basically we suck almost as bad as the writers.

[The Man Known as Dan]

I think Trammell should be in, I just don't think he was one of the 10 best players on the ballot. That's a problem with the real HOF voters, not us.

[TimLivingston]

Sooooooo, do we ban the two guys who didn't vote for Johnson?

[Craig H]

Even Tabe voted for Pedro.

[Cristobal]

I'm trying to figure out how 7 people left Pedro off their ballot. No hint of PEDs, he's in the middle of the ballot, he's certainly not the 11th-best player on that list or lower.

[Brysynner]

Bagwell
Biggio
Bonds
Clemens
Johnson
Edgar
McGriff (I remember him being good)
Piazza
Schilling
Smoltz

 

Mind you I don't watch baseball much...so I figure I'd fit in well with the BBWA

[OSJ]

Well, he was a hateful little prick, but even I voted for him. The ridiculous love for Schilling is making my head hurt.

 

"I remember him being good." Sounds like something Frankie Frisch would have said after a few drinks....

I think Schilling has a case: the problem here is just that Martinez, Johnson, and Smoltz were just better pitchers hen him. If this list gets thinned down in a couple years, his name will become much more relevant.

[Tabe]

Even Tabe voted for Pedro.

I'm not sure how I should take that.

[TimWresPowr]

I included drug guys & only came up with 8 and one I was on the fence about.  To me it was up to MLB to catch & punish them during their careers, otherwise they achieved what they did on the "level" playing field as set by MLB at that time.

[Dewar]

Voted Biggio, Bonds, Clemens, Johnson, Edgar & Pedro Martinez, McGwire, Raines, Smoltz, Trammell. Blast away, DVDVR!

[RIPPA]

Okay - the newest members of the HOF are announced tomorrow.

Unfortunately - I have to close this thread to close the poll but we do have the other thread also.

 

We had 42 votes. 75% of that would be 31.5 votes needed for induction. So the magic # is 32 (I am pretty sure the HOF rounds up - and yes I know they techincally use percentage of the vote. This is just easier for me to do quickly)

 

So inducted into our Hall of Fame would be

Randy Johnson - 40 votes

Pedro Martinez - 32 votes

Mike Piazza - 32 votes

 

Barry Bonds and John Smoltz each got 31 votes. We are goofy motherfuckers.

 

Now - if submitted as a HOF Ballot. Our 10 names would be

Randy Johnson

Pedro Martinez

Mike Piazza

Barry Bonds

John Smoltz

Roger Clemens - 28 votes

Craig Biggio - 27 votes

Jeff Bagwell - 25 votes

Tim Raines - 23 votes

Alan Trammell - 17 votes
