2016 Hall of Fame Voting Up (Part Two)

[trendon]

Taking Shel's advice, I shortened the time needed to be eligible to one year since these guys won't be unretiring. Still, the list is fairly barebones. Remember, this is the HALL OF FAME and not the All-Star Game, so do show some consideration when voting.

Yes, I cleared your old votes.

2 Questions,

1- What is the criteria to get in? 15 votes?

2- Do these guys stay on the ballot next year? I have 1 borderline guy that I don't want to put in on first ballot

[Cnasty]

Its tough too because we dont have anyone to compare to of recent invitees.

When we vote we are setting the bar of who we let in going forward and current guys are already doing better than these guys I believe.

Tough vote!

Can new guys opt out of the voting since I don't even know what a good season is yet?

Taking Shel's advice

Smart man.

2- Do these guys stay on the ballot next year? I have 1 borderline guy that I don't want to put in on first ballot

I think guys should stay on for 3 seasons, and that's it. Just my take.




2 really solid players. This is really tough being so new to the league that some guys, while top 5 at their position, really only have 3-4 seasons under their belts.

East Coast bias strikes OOTP Hall of Fame vote list.

None are "Hall of Fame" worthy, though.

1. 75% and we have 19 voters. That is 14.25, but I don't know how the utility handles decimals.
2. Five percent (one vote) to stay on the ballot.

Just submit a blank ballot.

Won't let me login. I am using the same login I use for the game, but says the password is wrong.

I dont see myself voting anyone into the HOF for a good 5-10 seasons. You need a career's worth of stats to get in, imo. These dudes retiring 3-5 yrs in wont have stats thta players like Hays, Flores, Ladd, Murphy among others will have.

[trendon]

If that is the case, please submit a blank ballot. It is important.

first Toronto player to get into HOF will have his # retired
