Decided to post results before hearing from all the ballot counters. I'll edit the results if necessary.

Morris' vote from Sugar Bear didn't get counted. Also, kind of funny to see 12 players with a majority vote. It's technically possible to elect 13 under the current rules (not that that would ever happen, but it makes a cool math problem)

Good catch. There should be one vote for Morris. The totals will probably change.

What's really interesting is who was closest to unanimity.

9.91 names per ballot

Yeah, my count (that I've been trying to e-mail you for the past half hour) had 119 votes, so there is some difference, but it doesn't change the results as a whole.

There were at least three votes for McGriff - myself, BrianBrianson, and SouthSideRyan. I suggest waiting to hear from the ballot counters.

DL was using my count. I completely missed Sugar Bear's vote, so that brings me to 116. That's why we need to communicate.

Edit: I also missed flournoy and BrianBrianson. I'll go find those.

Piazza above Maddux? Madhouse, etc.

Not sure how to give out my yahoo e-mail without giving it out to the whole world. The site e-mail is not working. I forwarded OCF count to fra paulo.

I've now added flournoy and BrianBrianson and also found another ballot I'd missed (Hugh Jorgan). That brings me to 119 votes.
I'm putting this into an email to DL now.

If you have any email address for me, rawagman, ronw, or Joey Numbaz, try it; we should be able to rattle it around from there.

I just posted my e-mail on the other thread. XP

Hope this matches your total ajnrules

I wonder if anyone from Walker to Kent would get elected if we had unlimited ballots slots. I'm certain Mussina would have been elected.

Differences between this year and last year:

Player          2014   2013   Change
Mike Piazza      96%    98%    - 2%
Greg Maddux      93%    N/A
Frank Thomas     92%    N/A
Jeff Bagwell     89%    98%    - 9%
Roger Clemens    87%    93%    - 6%
Barry Bonds      84%    93%    - 9%
Tom Glavine      82%    N/A
Curt Schilling   63%    83%    -20%
Mike Mussina     57%    N/A
Tim Raines       55%    96%    -41%
Craig Biggio     55%    91%    -36%
Alan Trammell    52%    84%    -32%
Mark McGwire     22%    71%    -49%
Larry Walker     18%    47%    -29%
Edgar Martinez   13%    28%    -15%
Sammy Sosa       11%    36%    -25%
Rafael Palmeiro   8%    29%    -21%
Jeff Kent         6%    N/A
Fred McGriff      3%     4%    - 1%
Luis Gonzalez     1%    N/A
Lee Smith         1%     3%    - 2%
Jack Morris       1%     2%    - 1%
Kenny Lofton     N/A     8%
Dale Murphy      N/A     4%
Bernie Williams  N/A     1%

Alan Trammell, Craig Biggio, Tim Raines, Mark McGwire and Curt Schilling have all been elected in previous BBTF mock elections.

Interesting that McGwire only got 22% of the vote when at least once before he got 75%+. Shows just how stuffed the ballot is that 2/3 of the voters who previously voted for him couldn't find room this year.

Piazza above Maddux? Madhouse, etc.

Probably because of the people using "strategic voting".

Interesting results. I will ask once again why people think Biggio was better than Walker. Anyone?

I suppose I would take Biggio's 1989-2001 over Walker's. But it's close. And I would absolutely take Walker's 'decline' over Biggio's long twilight struggle to remain above replacement level.

As one of the few who had Walker but not Biggio I'm surprised by the overwhelming difference in the numbers, unless there was a lot of "strategic" voting?
If that's the case then we're really not getting a true consensus nor does it seem logical because I'm pretty sure our votes don't count.

@18:
Well, Biggio squeaked onto my ballot while Walker was in a logjam just off my ballot.
I simply plugged in the votes as my system generated them, and spots 6-15 were very close in my system.
If I had unlimited ballot space Walker would have been included.

I am sort of interested in running a "what-if" ballot where we only include players from this era who did not receive 75% in a previous BBTF election. That would mean Mussina, Walker, Martinez, Kent, Sosa, Palmeiro, McGriff plus adding back Lou Whitaker, David Cone, Kenny Lofton, Kevin Brown, Bret Saberhagen, etc. Is anyone interested in a supplemental mock-election? The only question I would have would be whether to stick to the 10 player limit or dump it. Keeping the limit would give a priority sort but dumping it would allow for a referendum on all the players.

Other potential adds: Lance Parrish, Don Mattingly, Ron Guidry, Frank Viola, Lee Smith, Fernando Valenzuela, Dennis Martinez, Dave Stieb, Jimmy Key, Tony Phillips, Will Clark, Dwight Gooden, Albert Belle, Orel Hershiser, Jose Canseco, Paul O'Neill, Harold Baines, Tony Fernandez, Chuck Finley, Mark Grace, Matt Williams, Andres Galarraga, Robin Ventura, Kevin Appier, Juan Gonzalez, John Olerud, Bernie Williams, Brad Radke, Tim Salmon, Steve Finley, David Wells, Julio Franco

Would people be interested in counting? That's the hard part.

Sure, I can help.

i'm impressed at how many we elected. Good for us!

Thinking a bit more the vote % should be a good proxy for priority. I say dump the 10 vote limit if we're dumping the 5% cutoff. Yes, we will include Lee Smith and Jack Morris.

So when do we get our Tango grades.

Updated with final numbers

As one of the few who had Walker but not Biggio I'm surprised by the overwhelming difference in the numbers, unless there was a lot of "strategic" voting. If that's the case then we're really not getting a true consensus nor does it seem logical because I'm pretty sure our votes don't count.

I was surprised by the lack of support for Walker as well, but my impression is that some people hesitate to vote for a guy for whom a massive defensive number is important to his case, just because they don't trust defensive numbers. I think that's wrong, because it's a bias in favor of mediocre defenders, but that's my guess on why Walker hasn't done that well in these types of votes. OTOH he was elected to the HOM pretty quickly.

So when do we get our Tango grades.

Mine would suck. I voted for Walker.

A few thoughts re: our results vs. BBWAA:

1)Yay, we got a whole lot more players across the finish line than the writers seem capable of doing and, no, we didn't water down the standards in the process. These are exceptionally good players we're electing.

2)Even on our polls it looks like we went down from 8 elected last year to 7 this year, testament to how much quality is on the ballot to choose from.

3)Bad news is this - we like to think the BBWAA is clearing out the logjam, but they're not really. The logjam is primarily in the candidates on the ballot before this year. The only thing they cleared out was basically the obvious candidates from this year with the Big Three. Of previous year holdovers all they've done is possibly get Biggio in and that's it - and that's the group they need to start clearing out.
