Hall of Merit — A Look at Baseball's All-Time Best Friday, December 03, 2021Mock Hall of Fame Ballot 2022IMPORTANT: Please read: This election should follow BBWAA rules, not Hall of Merit rules. However, we hope to see only players that each voter feels belong on their ballots. Leaving 1st-year candidates off your ballot is also frowned upon. IOW, we would like to see an absence of some of the silliness that permeates Hall of Fame voting by the writers. The election will end on Friday, December 10, 2020 (1 PM EST). Results will be posted a short time later. Please don’t post any vote tallies on this thread. Here are some of the rules by the BBWAA that pertain to our electorate: 3. Eligible Candidates — Candidates to be eligible must meet the following requirements: 4. Method of Election 5. Voting — Voting shall be based upon the player’s record, playing ability, integrity, sportsmanship, character, and contributions to the team(s) on which the player played. Candidate bios can be found here. Here are the players, in alphabetical order. Submitting a ballot in alphabetical order will help make tallying ballots easier. Bobby Abreu |

That's all that I really wanted to vote for. But if there were more slots you might be able to talk me into Abreu, Buehrle, and Kent.

I voted for Sosa last year, so I suppose I would do so again if I had the room. I'd also put Ortiz in with the bunch of holdovers who feel like they're probably just on the wrong side of the line but I'm not dead set against (Pettitte, Buehrle, Hudson, Kent).

I'm still on the fence on Jones and Sheffield

Would like to have added Pettitte, Hudson, Buthelezi, and Sosa and maybe Abreu.

Rolen, helton and schilling are my only real HOFs but I’m ok with Jones and Rollins. The rest are because I think a few of these guys should get a handful kid votes - ie did more than just make the ballot

(I left out Curt Schilling in accordance with his own wishes.) My top tier choices are Bonds, Clemens and A-Rod. My mid-tier picks would be Rolen and Sosa. I would call the rest of my selections borderline mid-tier, with Helton being the best of the bunch. I would also have voted for Jeff Kent and Billy Wagner if I had the room.

I would have voted for Schilling but he asked us not to and who am I to dishonor his wishes.
I voted for Peavy based on BBWAA logic of throwing a vote to someone for sentimental reasons.

So slugger heavy . . . I tried to talk myself into Hudson, Buehrle, and Pettite, but just can't see it. No enough bulk for compilers or height for peak guys, although I waffle on that. Maybe I just haven't quite adapted as much as I need to for modern usage but they are just under the line for me.
Scherzer, Greinke and Verlander would get my vote 100%, and Sabathia probably would too.
Last two cut:
Andruw Jones
Jeff Kent
Both of whom are borderline for me. Being among the top fielding CF and best-hitting 2B in history (respectively) carries weight with me, given room I expect I would've felt badly leaving them off and thus voted for them both.

if someone ever could figure out what league avgs would be after factoring out steroids I can see adding a few other likely clean players.

This felt a lot tougher than in previous years. It feels like there are a lot of guys all in the "they may or may not get my vote, but I wouldn't object if they made it" area of voting.
