Hi. This is Brock Hanke.

Well, I’ve been a busy idiot. I’ve finished my 1936 ballot, but that was a side effect of looking up the Win Shares for all the top WAR performers (everybody with a WAR of 4.2 or more). Right after the ballot, I’ve listed all those players with their Win Shares numbers, in order of WAR, from the great Win Shares spreadsheet that Michael Brinkley sent me. As for my ballot, I’ve done what I said I would: Taken the Win Shares ordinal and multiplied it by two and then added in the WAR ordinal. The most serious disconnet is Lefty Grove. WAR has him first, and by a significant margin. Win Shares has him 11th. I don’t know where the disconnect comes from, but it might be from a difference about how powerful Strikeouts are. Lefty Grove comes equipped with Strikeouts.

The Ballot already:

1. Lou Gehrig
2. Carl Hubbell
3. Mel Ott
4. Arky Vaughan
5. Charlie Gehringer
6. Josh Gibson
7. Dizzy Dean
8. Lefty Grove
9. Joe Medwick
10. Paul Waner

1936 ballot:

1. Carl Hubbell - Quite a distance between him and the next pitcher
2. Lou Gehrig - Best bat
3. Josh Gibson - Best NgL player
4. Earl Averill
5. Arky Vaughan
6. Mel Ott
7. Luke Appling
8. Wes Ferrell - Bat lifts him to best AL pitcher
9. Leroy Matlock - Best NgL pitcher
10. Lefty Grove - Best rate stats, might have been the best pure pitcher, but Hubbell has more innings (and was really good himself) and Ferrell has the hitting.

1) Lefty Grove
2) Lou Gehrig
3) Carl Hubbell
4) Charlie Gehringer
5) Mel Ott
6) Arky Vaughan
7) Josh Gibson
8) Dizzy Dean
9) Luke Appling
10) Paul Waner

11-20) Earl Averill, Bill Holland, Satchel Paige, Billy Herman, Van Mungo, Wes Ferrell, Martin Dihigo, Joe Medwick, Johnny Allen, Willie Wells
