In depth analysis forth coming, as I see strong support for Vlad and Posada, and while my gut as a fan would likely agree with this, the numbers urge us to take a closer look. I took a comparison of non-HOM guys eligible/ineligible that overlap a significant portion of career with Vlad/Posada. I will first post the 18 non catchers (Bobby Abreu, Albert Belle, Lance Berkman, Carlos Delgado, Jim Edmonds, Nomar Garciaparra, Jason Giambi, Brian Giles, Luis Gonzalez, Vladimir Guerrero, Jeff Kent, Kenny Lofton, Fred McGriff, John Olerud, Manny Ramirez, Sammy Sosa, Robin Ventura, Bernie Williams; then the 3 catchers (Jason Kendall, Javy Lopez, Jorge Posada).
Totals adjusted for strike (1.4* 1994, 1.1* 1995), best 1, 3, 5, 7, 10, 13, career, career adjusted to RE24 offense, RAA (FG), RE24 (FG), Def, postseason WPA per seamheads, post season plays, PA
Also consider Giles being blocked by the Indians organization, that Delgado tore up the minors as well before getting a full-time gig, and the post-season value for each guy.
Baseball Prospectus is a supporter, but the other big 3 systems show Vlad as being short of the HOM.
