No game action yesterday, so I spent time recreating on BBR. If the Hall of Fame ballots become so stark that the PEDs guys (Bonds, Clemens, ARod, Palmiero) finally get voted in, we can play a new Career WAR game.
Of the guys still ahead of Mike Trout in Top 70 Career WAR, should the PEDs guys get in the only ones not in the Hall of Fame would be Albert Pujols (not yet retired), Adrian Beltre (too recently retired), Pete Rose (banned), and Curt Schilling (asshole).
Of the guys from #71 down to Trout at #95, there are Jim McCormick (1800’s player), Bill Dahlen 1891-1911), Lou Whitaker (Vet Committee potential), Larry Walker (who had a big jump in voting last year), Derek Jeter (1st ballot next year), and Bobby Grich (what the hell).
