If you think of Musial as a 1B I would have the same ranking. If not, yeah just bump up the others.
Sosa should be in before a bunch of these guys.....
Sosa's a fringey guy. 70 is like the automatic number that gets you in. He's pretty close to it.
http://www.si.com/mlb/2016/01/05/hall-fame-ballot-previewNo player has ever been elected unanimously. Tom Seaver holds the record for garnering the highest percentage of the vote, 98.8% in 1992. (Five not-so-terrific writers didn’t vote for him.) Even if Griffey Jr. doesn't get 100% or pass Seaver, he could at least challenge the biggest percentage by an outfielder: Ty Cobb, who pulled in 98.2% on the first election in 1936.
Such marginalia, of course, is nothing but meaningless fun. This is a pass-fail test. All that matters is the 75% needed for election.
This is the only one I'm aware of

How accurate have these been in the fast prediction wise?
Using Fangraphs, he's at a 60 WAR. I really hate how BR and FG have two different WAR calculations btw.
I am not a Sosa fan, but for five years he dominated the game until Bonds took over.
If Sosa gets in, Bonds DEFINITELY should get in.
Side note, feel really bad for Moose. Consistency gets you nowhere these days unless you ave some hardware it seems.
Hoffman would be such a joke. 28 career WAR, and won absolutely nothing. The only relief pitcher in MLB history that belongs in the BHOF is Mariano Rivera when he's eligible. It's like inducting Bunny Laraque into the HHOF because he was a great backup goalie.
Griffey and Piazza are both definitely going in. After that, who knows.
And I respect the feedback. First off, let me make it abundantly clear I am not a fan of the circus that was Sammy Sosa. But, using standard statistics he had a five year run that rivals all time greatness. Advanced statistics do indeed throw a wrench in his claim, as they should, and so do the whole PED assumption, but credit do to some pretty amazing offensive years.sosa's peak fwar

bonds and sosa are nothing alike other than they were baseball players. and one could argue that at that part of bonds's career that he had moved beyond playing baseball and had basically solved it.
that live ballot right now has edmonds falling off the ballot after this year as of right now.
