Ranking the HoF Players: 206-210

[DoubleX]

Project Summary: To rank the worthiness of the players inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame from most worthy to least worthy.

Election Format: Voters are to submit ballots ranking their 10 most worthy remaining Hall of Fame players in order of worthiness. Each first place vote will be worth 10 points, with each successive rank being worth one point less than the previous rank, ending in a tenth place vote being worth 1 point. Players will also receive one additional point for each ballot they are listed on and players must be listed on at least three ballots in order to be elected. The five players with the highest support at the end of each election will be elected in the order of their support. Elections will last approximately seven days.
- Tiebreakers: Tiebreakers at the end of an election will be decided in the following order: 1) Total ballot appearances in that election; 2) Total points in that election irrespective of number of ballots; 3) Number of first place votes in that election; 4) Finish in previous election. Players that lose a tiebreaker for the fifth spot in an election will be voted in as the sixth player in that election, with the next election to elect just four players.

Factors to Consider: As this project focuses on players inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame, subjective qualities beyond just statistics should be taken into consideration in determining a player's relative worthiness. In that vein, the voting guidelines that the BBWAA is to follow in actual National Baseball Hall of Fame elections, may be instructive (though not necessarily determinative in this project): "Voting shall be based upon the player's record, playing ability, integrity, sportsmanship, character, and contributions to the team(s) on which the player played."

Player Eligibility: Only players that have been elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame as players are eligible, including Negro League players and 19th Century players. A complete list of individuals that have been inducted as players is available at the National Baseball Hall of Fame's website, and is recreated below along with each player's corresponding BBF Rank as determined by this project:

The three voters who have divulged the remainder of their list have many consensus picks for worst by position:

C - Rick Ferrell
1B - George Kelly
2B - Bill Mazeroski
SS - Travis Jackson
LF - Chick Hafey
CF - Lloyd Waner
RF - Tommy McCarthy

The only two spots where there is debate is between a Negro Leaguer and a MLB player. Could be worth a look see.

3B - Judy Johnson vs Freddie Lindstrom
P - Andy Cooper vs Rube Marquard

Anyone have reservations about this "worst team"?

I tend to prefer Ferrell over Schalk at C, but not enough to gripe over it. Schalk had the great defensive reputation, but was very mediocre at the plate and I think he got elected mostly for being a sympathetic figure amid the Black Sox. Ferrell seemed to be more well-rounded player, with decent offense (95 OPS+), a good defensive reputation in his own right, and was thought highly of when he played as evidenced by being selected to the first six All Star games plus two more at the very end of his career.

Otherwise I'm in complete agreement with you.

At third base, I go back and forth on Johnson and Lindstrom. Johnson had the better defensive reputation. Regardless, as bad as these players might be by HOF standards, if I were a manager, I would love to have a team with this level of talent for a season.
