I appreciate all the input. In some ways I feel like the "blind" inductions of these players is what the HOF should be about and in other ways I cringe at the idea of losing records being immortalized on a plaque. I should mention that Jim St Vrain was a MONSTER pitcher and then all of sudden hit a wall. He was drafted by the BoSox and won 3 Outstanding Pitcher Awards and led the league in wins 4 times and then all of sudden one season he ended up with a 12-30 record and was subsequently traded and bounced around and brought his record back up, but he never really recovered from that 30-loss season. He did end up being a very good relief pitcher in an era where they were unheard of.

What I have decided to do, and I've found it to be very exciting, is to take Bill James' Hall of Fame Monitor and Black Ink Test and plug in the stats of the players who are eligible for the HOF and use that and create my own HOF. As the year progress in my replay I will post some results.
