Season 60 Hall of Fame Voting

 I still don't think we are quite at the point where people who were playing in the seasons where I have league leader data (Season 56-now) have retired yet, so the main metric I will be using is still Total Career WAR. However, I do have position-by-position data to compare each player with their closest peers in terms of HOF worthiness. Since I seem to have forgotten to take a screenshot of the top vote totals from last season, I am going to use the High Vote Total as a guide. The top five in that category are: Guillermo Gutierrez (16 votes in S54), Nigel Maybin (14 votes in S58), Miguel Tapies (11 votes in S55), Osvaldo Lee (8 votes in S54) and Geraldo Terrero/Roy Owen (5 votes in S57/S55 respectively.) 

Gutierrez is going to be considered a 1B for HOF purposes, Maybin is a SP, Tapies an RP, Lee also a 1B, Terrero is a starter and Roy Owen is a reliever. There have also been a few other names that have popped up in World Chat, so I'll evaluate them as well. They are: Odalis Marmol (RF), Esmailyn Johnson (2B), Chip Kinsler (3B) and Donne Giavotella (SP). Here's how they all stack up against HOF'ers at their individual positions:

Guillermo Gutierrez: 48 Park Adjusted Career WAR = Strong HOF Case
