  3. Just like last year, I agree with the real results more than with the reddit one. The one big exception is that Felix should 100% be getting more votes than Pettitte

  4. Wow, I don’t think I’ve ever seen it be this different than the actual results

  5. Largest gaps between r/baseball and BBWAA voting:

    **More Reddit Support**
    Félix Hernández +27.3%
    David Wright +26.2%
    Bobby Abreu +25.8%
    Mark Buehrle +21.0%

    **More BBWAA Support**
    Carlos Beltrán +14.3%
    Omar Vizquel +12.9%
    Andy Pettitte +12.6%
    Andruw Jones +10.4%

  6. I was looking at the Hall voting and still wonder how David Wright gets that 14.8%. There is a player below him who did not get near that who won and MVP, had better offensive numbers, and a similar WAR (very overrated stat but is used). I could honestly argue 2 players that are more deserving than Wright that fell below him. Crazy. But then you have voters vote for players that are obviously not HoF worthy.

    The one player on the official list I see as should have gotten many more votes is Omar Vizquel. With some they value defense and gold gloves. He won 11 of those. Plus, maybe not an offensive juggernaut but he did have 2877 hits with a respectable .272 career average. We know with just 123 more he gets in. Even without the gold gloves. This is not arguing he should be in. Just that I am shocked that on his 9th year this is all the votes he got.

  7. Question: will Beltran still be on next year’s r/baseball hall of fame ballot or will next year’s ballot just copy next year’s and Beltran and Jones will be off it

  10. I voted for (what turned out to be) the top 5 vote-getters and nobody else had that ballot.

    Also interesting to me that the people who comment tend, to me at least, be more forgiving of guys who took steroids, but the voters disagree with that.

  12. A third of the ballots cast by the sub having a full 10 players in a weak ballot year really says it all.
