Hall of Merit — A Look at Baseball's All-Time Best Tuesday, December 06, 2022Mock Hall of Fame Ballot 2023IMPORTANT: 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 Tuesday, December 13, 2022 (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 |

With an unlimited ballot, would have included Manny and A-Rod, maybe Rollins and Pettitte.

Not opposed to Wagner or Abreu, but both are below the line for me. If I were a real BBWAA voter I'd probably throw a bone to Matt Cain in that last spot, but he's obviously not a real candidate.

Basically, I'm a yes on Sheffield because I have no faith in defensive metrics from his era -- or, kind of, this one -- and he was such a magnificent hitter that I have a hard time believing he's actually dragged down that far without literally taking a nap on his glove every game.

I woulda voted for Kent too, but for some reason the BBWAA thinks ten is enough guys to vote for.

Todd Helton just missed. Wagner belongs with current HoF closer cohort, but I would only have 2-3 closers myself

Still refining the error bars on Sheff/Andruw defense as the field matures, and hell, they're both in (as are Helton and maybe a couple others) if your choice is to keep the size of the HOF but replace the mistakes (approximately what the HOM does).

On the fence on Abreu, would think longer if an actual HoF voter. Holding off on Beltran for his illegal sign stealing & not quite a 1st ballot guy.

I tend toward big Hall voting; I could also be talked into Kent. This is the weakest ballot in a while, usually there are half a dozen on my "would also consider" list.

I grudgingly voted for Buehrle and Pettitte, neither of whom really feel like a definite HOFer to me, but I guess I can squint and see it. Abreu is also barely over the line. I think I've previously listed Kent as a 'maybe' but I no longer see it. These are the only ten guys I think have a solid case.
