Re: My Hall of Fame Ballot
Berate? I'm asking you if you distinguish between who will make the HOF and who should. You referenced voters and predictions about who will make the the HOF in defense of your opinion about who should make the HOF. Since they're two different things, I'm simply asking if you can make that distinction.

Are you contending that the only qualification for the HOF is who has the higher OPS+ or VORP over the length of their career?

Certainly the members of the Hall of Fame should match up closely with the list of the best players as best we can measure who the best players were.

Bill James would probably say that Tim Raines should make the HOF.

Then why did you bring him up in the first place? When we were debating who should make the HOF, you brought up Bill James, yet he agrees with me. The only way it makes sense is if you believe that someone has a good chance of making the HOF is an argument for them actually making the HOF.
Do you see why I'm confused?
