The 2022 MLB Hall of Fame Ballot

I have often wondered how applying my voting methods for Virtual Cooperstown would translate over to the MLB Hall of Fame voting, and if my gut feeling about various major leaguers lines up with how I would vote for them using the strategies I use for HBD Hall of Fame Voting. Since we are in a bit of a lull in both the MLB season and our current HBD season, I figured I'd take the opportunity to find out for sure. 

Over the years here in Plumpy, my voting strategy has changed a bit but the most straightforward one (and therefore the one that I will initially use on my MLB ballot) is the Career WAR total method, broken down as follows:

Slam Dunk HOF'er = 100+ Career WAR

Definite HOF'er = 70 to 99 Career WAR

Strong HOF Case = 50 to 69 Career WAR

Weak HOF Case = 30 to 49 Career WAR

For a look at the full list of 30 players on the ballot this season, follow this link. Here's how those thirty breakdown into the categories listed above-

Slam Dunk HOF'ers = Barry Bonds (163 WAR), Roger Clemens (139 WAR),  A-Rod (117 WAR)

Definite HOF'ers = Curt Schilling (80 WAR), Scott Rolen (70 WAR), 

Strong HOF Case = Manny Ramirez (69 WAR), Andruw Jones (63 WAR), (Todd Helton (62 WAR), Gary Sheffield (61 WAR), Andy Pettitte (60.2 WAR), Bobby Abreu (60.2 WAR), Mark Buehrle (59.1 WAR), Sammy Sosa (58.6 WAR), Tim Hudson (57.8 WAR), Jeff Kent (56 WAR), David Ortiz (55 WAR), Torii Hunter (50.7 WAR), Mark Teixiera (50.6 WAR), 

Weak HOF Case = Jimmy Rollins (48 WAR), Omar Vizquel (45 WAR), Jake Peavy (39.2 WAR), Carl Crawford (39.1 WAR)

No HOF Case = Billy Wagner (28 WAR), Justin Morneau (27.0 WAR), Joe Nathan (26.7 WAR), AJ Pierzynski (23.8 WAR), Prince Fielder (23.8 WAR), Jonathan Papelbon (23 WAR), Tim Lincecum (19.1 WAR), Ryan Howard (14.7 WAR)

Based on that information, my initial ballot would look like this:

1) Barry Bonds-In previous years I've said I wouldn't vote for him because of PED's, but because it's his last year on the ballot and he's pretty close I'd throw him a vote and see if it made a difference. Honestly I'm fine either way on this one. 

2) Roger Clemens-See comments above about Barry Lamar Bonds. 

3) A-Rod-He very much fits into the same category as the first two, but the difference is that this is year #1 on the ballot for him, not year #10. 

4) Curt Schilling- It's not just that he's a jerk, it's that he's a jerk who is trying to use his platform to hurt others too.

5) Scott Rolen

6) Manny Ramirez-Repeat offender in the era of steroid suspensions. Seems hard to enforce the character clause on others who were never actually caught and give Manny a pass, even if I am a big Red Sox fan. 🤷‍♂️

7) Andruw Jones

8) Todd Helton

9) Gary Sheffield- He admitted to using steroids in 2002. I find it hard to believe he didn't also use steroids after that, and he was "only" worth 40 WAR before then...that's still good, but it's not HOF worthy.  

10) Andy Pettitte-He used HGH, but that was technically legal at the time and was never proved to have used other substances, so he stays.  

However, I'm a firm believer in the character clause being an important part of the voting process, and that eliminates a significant number of the players above being removed. Those guys are highlighted in red above and I've put the reasoning next to them. 

Since I've taken 5 guys off of my initial ballot, I look at the next five guys on the list to see how many of them get my vote. They are Bobby Abreu, Mark Buehrle, Sammy Sosa, Tim Hudson and Jeff Kent. Sosa gets the boot due to PEDs, but that's OK because it brings me to exactly ten votes: 

1) Barry Bonds

2) Roger Clemens

3) Scot Rolen

4) Andruw Jones

5) Todd Helton

6) Andy Pettitte 

7) Bobby Abreu

8) Mark Buehrle 

9) Tim Hudson

10) Jeff Kent

Season 58 Hall of Fame Voting

 Over the past few seasons, I have established a method of Hall of Fame voting that blends both previous voting totals and career Wins Above Replacement that has worked quite well and I will continue using that this year. However, I do have an extra wrinkle to add in at this point: I have been tracking WAR long enough that I am starting to get some career totals for Hall of Famers, so not only will I be able to get a general sense of their chances on an MLB scale but I can also now start comparing the candidates to their Plumpy counterparts as well. 

As usual, we start with a reminder of how last season's voting turned out: 

With Ingram and Corpas now in, our top five vote-getters who fell short last season were Miguel Tapies (1 vote short), Elian Rojas Jr. (7 votes short, and this is at least the third time he has shown up on this list), Osvaldo Lee (9 votes short), Guillermo Gutierrez (10 votes short) and Darnell Curtis (11 votes short.) 

Now that we have our list of leading candidates, let's see how their careers stack up using a method that is based on WAR and borrowed from MLB.com (but expanded to give players credit for leading the league in certain categories.) Here are the results:

• Miguel Tapies: 5.37 total points 
• 102 Estimated WAR in 19 seasons = 5.37 Baseline Score*
• ? years of 4+ WAR
• 0 Cy Youngs or MVPs
• 0 World Series Rings
• Won ? pennants 
• Led the league in WHIP, IP, K, Opp SLG and ERA ? times
• Led the league in Gms, SHO, W, SV and Opp OBP ? times
• Led the league in L, Most H, Most R, Most BB, Highest OAVG ? times
• Led the league in GS and SV Opp ? times, Most ER ? times
• Elian Rojas Jr: 12.97 total points 
• 69.54 WAR in 14 seasons = 4.97 Baseline Score
• 8 years of 4+ WAR = 8 points
• 0 Cy Youngs or MVPs
• 0 World Series Rings
• Won ? pennants 
• Led the league in R, H, HR, RBI and OPS ? times, K's ? times
• Led the league in BB, SB, AVG, OBP and SLG ? times, CS ? times
• Led the league in AB, 2B, 3B, HBP, L Streak ? times 
• Osvaldo Lee: 5.87 total points 
• 28 Estimated WAR in 15 seasons = 1.87 Baseline Score*
• ? years of 4+ WAR
• 0 Cy Youngs or MVPs
• 2 World Series Rings = 4 points
• Won ? pennants 
• Led the league in R, H, HR, RBI and OPS ? times, K's ? times
• Led the league in BB, SB, AVG, OBP and SLG ? times, CS ? times
• Led the league in AB, 2B, 3B, HBP, L Streak ? times 
• Guillermo Gutierrez: 10.17 total points 
• 47.61 WAR in 15 seasons = 3.17 Baseline Score
• 5 years of 4+ WAR = 5 points
• 1 MVP Award = 2 points
• 0 World Series Rings 
• Won ? pennants 
• Led the league in R, H, HR, RBI and OPS ? times, K's ? times
• Led the league in BB, SB, AVG, OBP and SLG ? times, CS ? times
• Led the league in AB, 2B, 3B, HBP, L Streak ? times 
• Darnell Curtis: 5.31 total points 
• 43 Estimated WAR in 13 seasons = 3.31 Baseline Score*
• ? years of 4+ WAR
• 0 Cy Youngs or MVPs
• 1 World Series Ring = 2 points
• Won ? pennants 
• Led the league in R, H, HR, RBI and OPS ? times, K's ? times
• Led the league in BB, SB, AVG, OBP and SLG ? times, CS ? times
• Led the league in AB, 2B, 3B, HBP, L Streak ? times 

This seems like a good formula to apply to HOF candidates going forward based on the results, but because I haven't been tracking league leaders up until this point I am going to use the WAR-only standards until we get to the point where candidates have league leader data available. This is what the WAR-only standards have to say about the current candidates:

Slam Dunk HOF'ers (100+ WAR) = none

Definite HOF'ers (70-99 WAR) = Miguel Tapies (102 Estimated WAR) 

Strong HOF Cases (50-69 WAR) = Marty Roosevelt (96 Estimated Career WAR), Nigel Maybin (89 Estimated Career WAR), Xander Cruz (81 Estimated Career WAR), Elian Rojas Jr (69.54 WAR)

Weak HOF Cases (Less Than 50 WAR) = Kordell Rivers (62 Estimated Career WAR), Donne Giavotella (58 Estimated WAR), Geraldo Terrero (Estimated 54 Career WAR), Guillermo Gutierrez (47.61 WAR), Glen Lowell (47.30 Career WAR), Darnell Curtis (43 Estimated WAR), Osvaldo Lee (28 Estimated WAR)

My policy is to vote for everyone in the "Strong HOF Case" category or higher, but looking at the current group of players that would only use up two of my five votes. That leads me to looking at the next three candidates on the list from last season: Geraldo Terrero (4 votes last year), Glen Lowell (4 votes last year) and Donne Giavotella (3 votes last year.) Lowell falls a little short, but the other two make the cut and bring me up to four votes used so far. Next on the list is Kordell Rivers, who received 3 votes last year. He also makes the cut and becomes my final vote for this season. 

Four of the five guys who are getting my votes have Estimated Career WAR totals right now, so the next step is to convert those estimations to park adjusted totals and re-evaluate their candidacy. 

***

Now that voting has actually started and it turns out that Rojas Jr. is not on the ballot this season, I need to find out if there is someone who is worthy of getting my fifth and final vote. I am going to start by looking into others who have received votes so far: 

• Cesar Cairo, 59 Estimated Career WAR
• Marty Roosevelt, 96 Estimated Career WAR
• Xander Cruz, 81 Estimated Career WAR
• Nigel Maybin, 89 Estimated Career WAR

These four are actually going to change my whole ballot around, as three of them turned out to be top five candidates for Virtual Cooperstown. At this point, I am looking at a ballot of Tapies, Roosevelt, Maybin and Cruz with my fifth and final vote still up for grabs. 

Season 57 Awards Voting

 This will be year #3 using the park and position adjusted formula for WAR to evaluate the end of year awards ballots and so far it's worked pretty well the first couple of seasons. Here's how this year's nominees stack up, and be on the lookout for an updated on Career WAR once I get these all set to go 😀

Season 57 Hall of Fame Voting

We failed to elect anyone to the Hall last season after having back-to-back seasons where we put two guys into Virtual Cooperstown. Over the past few seasons, I have based my HOF blog post on a combination of previous vote totals and Wins Above Replacement. However, I also forgot to record the vote totals from last season so I am instead going to base my efforts mainly on Wins Above Replacement this season. As a general reminder, I use the following guidelines in terms of HOF worthiness: 100+ is a Slam Dunk HOF’er, 70-99 WAR is a Definite HOF’er, 50-69 is worthy of strong consideration and 49 or fewer WAR needs some help to get in. 

Most of the totals that I used last season were estimates, so I am going to focus on the highest estimated totals from last season and calculate their exact WAR totals which account for both the parks they played in and the positions that they played to see how that changes the list. Out of the guys that I evaluated last season, the top five estimated totals were Pablo Corpas (~74 WAR), Ubaldo Otanez (~67 WAR), James Moore (~64 WAR), Glen Lowell (~62 WAR) and Carlos Valentin (~58 WAR.)

• Pablo Corpas' adjusted WAR total is 65.80, which makes him Worthy of Strong Consideration

• James Moore's adjusted WAR total is 51.16, which makes him Worthy of Strong Consideration

• Glen Lowell's adjusted WAR total is 47.30 which makes him In Need Of Help To Get In 

• Ubaldo Otanez's adjusted WAR total is 48.04 which makes him In Need Of Help To Get In 

• Carlos Valentin's adjusted WAR total is 25.83 which makes him In Need Of Help To Get In 

Since I have finished looking at the top five guys and don't yet have five names that I'm sold on for my ballot this year, I am going to look at the next five on the list: Sandy Mieske (~57 WAR), Guillermo Gutierrez (~56 WAR), Elian Rojas Jr (~50 WAR), Al Cabrera (~50 WAR), Maikel Romano (~49 WAR.)

• Guillermo Gutierrez's adjusted WAR total is 47.61, which makes him In Need Of Help To Get In 

• Elian Rojas Jr.'s adjusted WAR is 69.54, which makes him Worthy of Strong Consideration

***

I was able to write that much of the post prior to rollover, but now that we are fully in the swing of HOF voting, here is a list of the top five previous vote totals along with their WAR totals and classifications:

• Guillermo Gutierrez, 1 vote shy of election in Season 54, had 47.61 WAR which makes him In Need Of Help To Get In 
• Pablo Corpas, 2 votes shy of election in Season 55, had 65.80 WAR which makes him Worthy of Strong Consideration
• James Moore, 7 votes shy of election in Season 53, had 51.16 WAR which makes him Worthy of Strong Consideration
• Kordell Rivers, 7 votes shy of election in Season 56, had 62 Estimated WAR which makes him Worthy of Strong Consideration
• Osvaldo Lee, 8 votes shy of election in Season 54, had 28 Estimated WAR which makes him In Need Of Help To Get In 
• Miguel Tapies, 8 votes shy of election in Season 55, had 102 Estimated WAR which makes him a Slam Dunk HOF'er

Other players who have been mentioned on the World Chat so far include: 

• Ryan Ingram, high vote total of 1 in Season 56, had 182 Estimated WAR which makes him a Slam Dunk HOF'er
• Darnell Curtis, high vote total of 0 in Season 56, had 43 Estimated WAR which makes him In Need Of Help To Get In 

Season 56 Awards Voting

 The Season 56 edition of the Awards Voting blog series comes at the perfect time, as I am newly on summer vacation and looking for a way to occupy my time. This is the second season where I will be using a formula that accounts for both park and positional adjustments, and last year's results seemed to match up pretty well with what the numbers said that they should be so we will see how this year goes. But first, let's see what the numbers say: 

AL MVP

• Charles Rua (RF-Syracuse), 6.57 WAR
• Jeremy Kershaw (CF-Helena), 6.13 WAR
• Antonio Frandsen (DH-Montreal), 6.79 WAR
• Luther Stowers (CF-Milwaukee), 5.42 WAR
• Orlando Rienzo (RF-Montreal), 5.53 WAR

Season 56 Hall of Fame Voting

As has become customary, I am going to take a look at this year's HOF candidates using a mixture of previous voting results and the Wins Above Replacement metric that I use in other blog posts. In each of the last two seasons we have elected a pair of highly deserving candidates, but there are still a handful on the ballot that merit serious consideration. Just as a reminder, here is a look at how last year's voting turned out: 

As you can see, Guzman and Reames crossed the finish line while a few others came fairly close. The top five vote totals that failed to cross the finish line were the following: Guillermo Gutierrez (14 votes), James Moore (9 votes), Osvaldo Lee (9 votes), Fred Sparks (8 votes) and Maikel Romano (7 votes.) 

Generally speaking, I tend to use the following guidelines when it comes to Wins Above Replacement and HOF voting: 100+ WAR is a shoe-in, 70-99 is definitely deserving and 50-69 deserves serious consideration but I can live with it if they don't get elected. The estimated career totals for WAR listed above were calculated using the positional adjustment formula applied to their career totals in fielding and hitting so they should be pretty accurate...and since nobody is "definitely deserving" I'm going to go through the rest of the list and see if anyone from down the ballot qualifies and go from there. The current results are as follows:

HOF Shoe-Ins: none

Definitely Deserving of HOF: Pablo Corpas (74)

Serious Consideration for HOF: Ubaldo Otanez (67), James Moore (64), Glen Lowell (62), Carlos Valentin (58), Sandy Mieske (57), Guillermo Gutierrez (56), Elian Rojas Jr (50), Al Cabrera (50)

Evaluated and not HOF worthy: Maikel Romano (49), Tripp Uribe (40), Greg Forest (39), Fred Coles (38), Bartolo Ramirez (35), Don Wang (34), Osvaldo Lee (28),  Alexi Franco (27), Ramiro Guerrero (21), Otis Gold (18)

 

Since I have some extra time on my hands this season, I am going to work on getting the exact totals for the leading candidates and I will also add the estimates for anyone I missed when the ballot comes out for real. I will post in the World Chat if/when there are significant updates to report. 

Editor's Note-I have recreated the above chart using the exact totals (which account for both positional and park adjustments) for all of the players who I have finished the math for. Here are the results: 

HOF Shoe-Ins:

Definitely Deserving of HOF:

Serious Consideration for HOF:

Evaluated and not HOF worthy: Guillermo Gutierrez (47.16 WAR)

Season 55 Awards Voting

 As I mentioned on the World Chat, I have recently discovered a way to account for Positional Adjustments as well as Park Factors in my Wins Above Replacement calculations that I use for both the Hall of Fame blog posts and the end of year awards. Due to the fact that I made this discovery mid-season, I have started going back over the past couple of seasons and correcting the calculations for the purposes of an All-Time WAR document that I'm putting together, but these are going to be the first of the new calculations that I publish so let me know what you think. 

 If you have a specific player that you are interested in seeing the calculation for let me know via TC or World Chat and I'll add them into the category you would have expected to see them as an "Honorable Mention" for comparison purposes. Hopefully this helps you make your choices for the most deserving winners, and without further preamble here are this season's results: 

{Editor's Note: I really like the idea of voting for our own award winners next year...I will do a follow up post with a case study of this concept using this year's data}

Season 55 Hall of Fame Voting

 As with the past few seasons, I am going to base both my ballot and this blog post off of the previous season's voting results in an effort to find the sweet spot between the players with the most support and those with careers worthy of election. Just as a refresher, I am going to look at the top five players who didn't cross the threshold and evaluate them using the Wins Above Replacement metric to see where they stack up against the competition. To start, let's look at last season's voting results:

With Ethier and Guerrero safely enshrined in Virtual Cooperstown, the five with the most support who fell short last year are: Fred Sparks (11 votes), Elian Rojas Jr (10 votes), Maikel Romano (10 votes), Theodore Reames (8 votes) and Glen Lowell/Harry Espinosa (7 votes each.) The career WAR of those six is listed below: 

1) Theodore Reames, 72 Estimated Career WAR

2) Fred Sparks, 63 Estimated Career WAR

3) Maikel Romano, 62 Estimated Career WAR

t-4) Elian Rojas Jr, 61 Estimated Career WAR

t-4) Harry Espinosa, 61 Estimated Career WAR

5) Glen Lowell, 43 Estimated Career WAR

Other candidates that have been mentioned on the World Chat include: 

• Enrique Guzman, 102 Estimated Career WAR
• Guillermo Gutierrez, 79 Estimated Career WAR
• Tripp Uribe, 40 Estimated Career WAR
• Al Cabrera, 50 Estimated Career WAR
• Osvaldo Lee, 53 Estimated Career WAR
• James Moore, 67 Estimated Career WAR
• Don Wang, 41 Estimated Career WAR

Out of all the candidates discussed above, the following are the top five:

1) Enrique Guzman, 102 Estimated Career WAR

2) Guillermo Gutierrez, 79 Estimated Career WAR

3) Theodore Reames, 72 Estimated Career WAR

4) James Moore, 67 Estimated Career WAR

5) Fred Sparks, 63 Estimated Career WAR
