RESULTS: Official /r/Baseball Mock 2018 Hall of Fame Voting

[u/SouthernDerpfornia]

Hi /r/baseball,

Following up with the thread originally posted here, these are the results of the /r/baseball Mock Hall of Fame Voting! Last year, /r/baseball actually got fewer people elected on the standard ballot than the BBWAA (only Bagwell vs Bagwell/Rodriguez/Raines). And I should note that of course there will be troll votes and I can't really do too much about it if there were, but for the most part everything seemed fine. So here we go:

Chipper Jones as expected is elected, but surprisingly only Vladimir Guerrero joins him as being elected. Thome misses election by about 30 votes and Martinez misses by about 60. My personal guess is that 3 or 4 people get voted in this year by the BBWAA, so this result is a little disappointing

10 Hall of Famers! I'd note the sample as smaller and even more self-selecting as the standard one.

Thank you for all of those who voted!

Smoltz is better on ERA+ and WAR. So, yeah that's my point. Also, anybody old enough to remember would know why Glavine is in. 10 year long stretch pitching to a 136 ERA+ and winning 2 Cy Youngs? Clearly beats anything Moose accomplished in his career. That would get ignored on this sub - where baseball happens on a spreadsheet and everyone is 14

[u/testudofaps → u/SoupyDumps]

Mussina has more WAR and was clearly the most deserving of the Cy Young in 2001. Glavine shouldn't have won in 1998.

[u/SoupyDumps → u/testudofaps]

Mussina has more total WAR because he wasn't made a reliever for four seasons in the middle of his prime. WAR per season as a starter? No. Also, I like your use of the 'ol "I have no other valid points to offer, so instead I will revise history and claim he deserves an award he does not."

[u/testudofaps → u/SoupyDumps]

Mussina still has more WAR as a starter per season as a starter. Nice try though.

And it's not revisionist history to say that stats show Mussina was the best in the league as often as Glavine.

[u/SoupyDumps → u/testudofaps]

That's true. I wouldn't have expected that Moose was better year to year than Smoltz. I stand by what I said though and the votes are reflecting it. I still think Moose gets in and that most of the complaints about his waiting aren't valid. Pitchers without Cy Youngs or crazy counting stats wait. It's the way it usually goes.

[u/testudofaps → u/SoupyDumps]

I understand. Voters have their tendencies. I just had to defend Moose compared to Glavine and Smoltz. It's fine if you'd pick them over Moose but to suggest that one must be biased to pick Moose was odd.

And stop calling the Yankee fan dumb using Maryland insults.

[u/SoupyDumps → u/testudofaps]

Wasn't that a Baltimore guy? I think it's the same guy spamming my inbox with insults thinking I can't report those because they aren't public. He's a dick and can spin.
