BBWAA Hall Of Fame Ballot: Derek Jeter and Larry Walker Elected

[kalinecountry]

Lou Whitaker?s Hall of Fame case is undeniable: His adjusted OPS of 117 ranks ahead of Hall of Fame second basemen Roberto Alomar (116) and Ryne Sandberg (114) -- *and* Whitaker has the better Range Factor/9 IP than both Alomar and Sandberg. @Tigers @MLBNetwork

Ted Simmons, Marvin Miller Elected To Baseball Hall Of Fame.
MLBTR

Twelve of 16 votes were required for induction, and each Modern Era committee member could vote for a maximum of four candidates.
Simmons (13 votes) led the field while Miller hit the 12-vote minimum on the dot.
Of the other eight players on this year?s ballot, Dwight Evans (eight votes), Dave Parker (seven votes), Steve Garvey (six votes), and Lou Whitaker (six votes) all made particularly strong showings,
while Tommy John, Don Mattingly, Thurman Munson, and Dale Murphy each received three or fewer votes.

Two overrated statistically weak right fielders evans and cokehead parker got more votes than Lou.
IDGAF what anyone says that either or belongs in the HOF.
RF is already saturated with hof'ers and it is getting watered down with inclusion of Baines this year.

Reactions to Lou Whitaker?s Hall of Fame vote are very negative, as you might expect.
