He's 4th FIP after the greatest one, Papelbon and _______. Guess. Its good.



(Hint: Since I don't feel like this dragging on, one of this RPs starters also should have gotten a lot more consideration than he did.)

Just read a piece on ESPN about griffey...and the kicker was that he should have his hat on backwards in his plaque. That would be awesome.

I just wanted to thank Mr. D for putting Ausmus last behind Eckstein.

What's the over/under on Eckstein votes? Is Bernie Miklasz allowed to vote more than once?

Henke. The SP I had in mind was Steib but I guess Key would make even more sense here.



(Speaking of Steib and a lot of pitchers from a certain era ... I wonder if fWAR is all wrong on them. Its based off FIP which is based off SO/BB/HR and SO just weren't as much as a thing back then. They were always valuable and retroactively highly valued, but it wasn't how the game was played and, unlike hitter walks which are a universal good whether or not it was valued at the time, SOs weren't a necessity for or predictor of success.)

Which is weird because there were like 20 fields in the 80's where, if the ball was hit more than 5 feet from a fielder, it was going to be a triple.

What's the correlation between a list of top strikeout pitchers back then to their overall performance as compared to a similar list today?

Depends on how you define overall performance, which is usually WAR. Circular reference!

Yeah, I just did it that way, realizing that.

Minimum 1,000 IP

Correlation of the Top 100 in FIP to their K/9 ranks - 1980-1990 = 0.535
Correlation of the Top 100 in FIP to K/9 ranks - 2005-2015 = 0.729!

Rooting for The Head and Raines. Rooting against Clemens. Just because, and logic be damned. Also rooting against The Smiths and Pete Rose.

So that's saying "no" for Raines and Bagwell, "yes" for Piazza and Griffey, right? Hence the "could not be found" vs. "not authorized" messages?

That's the assumption, which is probably wrong, but if not...there are a couple who are "not authorized" as well that might make me and Mr D. explode (hint: Ausmus-Brad is a not found)

I initially took it as "OMG THERE'S A PAGE" but now I'm seeing Bonds has the authorization message and I'm thinking there are placeholder pages for guys and Raines doesn't have one. I'm going to die.

Who doesn't vote for Griffey?

Also, creatively looking at the baseball amateur draft, Griffey was selected 44 slots AFTER Piazza.

Eta- wow blew that. 87 draft. Debut in 89. My bad.

I said this on Twitter and really meant it, but I'm actually glad Trammell didn't get voted in (not that it was ever going to happen). Him and Whitaker getting to go into together via the Veteran Committee will be pretty sweet. Each has the highest bWAR at their respective position of any person eligible for the Hall to play in the 20th century. Neither ever really got a sniff at being elected by the writers.

I'm not saying this is a good idea, but I wonder what happens if you told voters they'd get axed if they voted for anyone who ended up with less than 10% or left off anyone with more than 90%. I'm flexible on the numbers.

So was Griffey the greatest OF ever? Looking at his stats, and considering how many fewer games and at bats he had compared to Mays, it's very arguable.

I'd say he's bottom half of the top 10, if that. Not a knock, but more a recognition of the overall accomplishments of the others. Maybe if he had stayed healthy, but injuries reduced him to an above-average but far-from-great player after he turned 30.

Whether you meant CF or OF, no, Griffey is not the best ever. Not even a reasonable argument at either spot (Ruth or Mays).

I think there was an article on that premise -- not voting for Griffey because he'll get in and others deserve votes.

i think so.. pudge and manny are the only slam dunks so Bagwell and Raines should be in. Hoffman too?
Bonds and Clemens might get close too if not in.
