Season 14 Voting

I've been in and out of internet access recently, but I have a chance this afternoon to look through the HOF candidates for this season. I will be using a metric that I have called the "Importance Score" in other worlds, but in plain English it's the Wins Above Replacement per year that the player averaged over the course of their career with some bonus points for various achievements. Here's a look at how the candidates for the season stack up:

Hitters

  • Luis Albernaz (LF), 12.70 points

  • Steven Bando (3B), 3.30 points

  • Einar Castillo (DH), Score needs to be calculated {at least 2.00 points}

  • Lance Fitzgerald (CF), Score needs to be calculated

  • Carl Locke (SS), 1.80 points

  • Brian Loiselle (3B), 2.30 points

  • Louie Matsui (3B), 0.70 points

  • Yonder Palmiero (RF), Score needs to be calculated {at least 6.00 points)

  • Frank Yamada (1B), 4.20 points

Pitchers

  • Gioskar Golub (RP), Score needs to be calculated

  • Carter Pickford (RP), 5.40 points

Using the list above the top five point scorers are: Albernaz (12.70), Palmiero (6+), Pickford (5.40), Yamada (4.20) and Bando (3.30). However, Castillo's incomplete WAR average (4.05) suggests that he will end up either second or third on the list and Golub will probably end up around Pickford as well so my five votes this season will be Albernaz, Palmiero, Pickford, Castillo and Golub.
