Half-Baked Hall: 1988

Mark Buehrle fell just short (38%) of getting a future look, but None of Them! is able to come back again. Torii Hunter pulled down one vote. The guy definitely had his best years after he left the Twins. Cuddyer, Hudson, and LaTroy were shut out.

Next is 1988. Two former Twins with high WAR totals here. Also a relief pitcher who made that other museum.

Half-Baked Hall: 2015

Not surprisingly we have 3 new members of the Half-Baked Hall. Juan Marichal, Bob Gibson,  and Killer all sail in with 93% of the vote!

Sam McDowell falls off with 29%. Cy Young winner and former Twin Jim Perry falls off with 21%. Vada Pinson gets shut out.

Our 2015 ballot does not have any inner circle candidates. But this is the Half-Baked Hall. Who needs standards

Half-Baked Hall: 1975

So 2014 was a dud of a year.  Jeter's name will be tucked away for a future consolation ballot as he pulled down 62% of the vote . Bobby Abreu, who will probably linger on the real ballot for ten years, gets unceremoniously dumped off ours with just three votes. Congrats to Jason Giambi and Cliff Lee for each nailing down a vote.  Poor Nick Punto was shut out.

Next up is 1975. I have a feeling one of these guys might be to your liking.

Half-Baked Hall: 2014

Congratulations to Wade Boggs who unanimously was selected and I'm sure had some fried chicken to celebrate. Jim Abbott and Darryl Strawberry each garnered two votes and the rest were shut out.

Random.org has selected the cast of players that are going to be on next year's HOF ballot. Which is good because I know you're all dying to vote for Jetes!

For fun I included one of our dear friends on the ballot, who almost has as much career WAR as Adam Dunn (who I did not put on the ballot) despite hitting 443 fewer homers.

Who belongs in the Half-Baked Hall?

  • Derek Jeter (53%, 8 Votes)
  • Bobby Abreu (20%, 3 Votes)
  • None of them! (13%, 2 Votes)
