My thoughts..

Washington deservedly get in as first-ballot HOF'er.

Wu does not get in. 10 years he was on the ballot, he received 55.2% cumulative votes, easily besting the Jose Lopez's 40.4%. I just hope they raise the minimum qualifications soon on the leaderboards because I am going to hate going on them and seeing Wu at the top for all-time.

I think Marty Crow had a movie named after him.. The Crow: Salvation. A 45.1% jump from last year's vote, topping Ryan Parker's 40.8% jump from the 2024 ballot.

Pacheco flirted with inductment until he was left off last few ballots. In line to be our biggest snub??

Cyborg continues to hover around 70%.

McMinn and Cross both notice decent gains, while most others in the 30-40 range stayed relatively the same except Sluggo Silva who saw a noticeable drop.

Franks somehow manages to make it to his 10th ballot next year, at least he'll be put out of his misery then.

Didn't expect much from the other 1st year nominees, but Etheridge and Hart stay on, while Jermaine Stark is the only one eliminated.

Thanks for voting.

Our Hall of Fame now looks like...

Love it!

Next sim, right-click on Washington and you should have an option to induct him. If I remember what Niddler told me.

You don't want to know who you traded him for.. 2B Ben Cox.. although, he had a respectable career WAR of 28.1.. but hopefully there was PTBNL that doesn't show up in histories

Shel with no titles and no drafted HOFers

Well the HOF part is definitely understandable as usually guys play with my team for 4 years max.

But the no title is inexcusable...and some bad luck.

Guaranteed Washington had a humongous ratings jump being from the 7th round and trading him away.

That being said my lack of loyalty to players wouldn't surprise me if that wasn't true

They're certainly on their way.

Victor Guzman the reliever has a career WAR of 34.6 holy fuck.. and that includes missing all last yr

Wrong thread...?

Definitely more HOF worthy than Marty Crow!!!

DRWebs wrote: Jamison and Castaneda first balloters?

Just looked em up, didn't realize Miggy was already 16th all time in batter WAR at 60.9. A very conservative estimate puts him at 6th all time at retirement, and he has a legit shot to be the 4th batter to reach the 100 WAR mark.

Jamison is 28th at 61.1 and has no signs of slowing down from his 10 WAR per season pace and barring injuries or an unforeseen decline, he will possibly be the 5th(Esparza currently at 98.9) to hit the 100 WAR mark for pitchers.

Crow also hit 35 and 45 percent in his first two ballot so not sure why he's freaking out over him getting to 60. I get last year his total was low but people really don't put that much time or effort into HOF voting and year to year totals can easily fluctuate imo
