    Honestly, I think HOF voting is a great way for a new owner to "get to know" the history of the league. Gives you an exercise/excuse to look at past players for comparison purposes.

        Who are you, his agent?!



        Short answer is: because the utility didn't select him.

        I'll take a look and try to determine why that is.

          He's the best closer of all-time (1st all-time in saves)... and clearly had better stats than Diaz... so I'm not sure what that's all about.

            The media didn't like his short stint in Virginia.

              Cute... but I am slightly concerned if the utility is going to start omitting the best players at their position, randomly.

                I don't know how the utility calculates its "time since retirement", but I'm thinking he'll get selected next go round. Not being able to see the queries behind the selection engine I can't say for sure.

                Edit: That is weird though, since you specifically mentioned Diaz . . .who spent a great deal of time pitching in 2005. Give me some time and I'll mess around with writing our own selection criteria query that we could run outside the utility (you can "hard code" a player ID into the utility to appear on the ballot).

                    We have 20 ballots so the voting is official now even if we don't receive the remaining ballots, but you still have time to get those last 4 ballots in:

                    NYK
                    SEA
                    MOR
                    NOS

                    We'll be finalizing this class very soon (by next SIM).
