In that thread i show how i do it. i believe i have changed it since then but that shows the idea.
Before WAR was in OOTP i did have a statistics based version but i can't find it on this computer right now.
Both systems worked fairly well. It added big time to my immersion to my fictionals and was worth the extra time in the offseason.

I've been using your system with a few tweaks here and there making it a bit harder to get in, but with some added points for All-Stars, MVPs, CYs. Also included a 25% decrease in base vote for suspected steroids users and 65% decrease for known users. Works well for me I think.
Here are my first few classes;
2014: Greg Maddux, Tom Glavine, Frank Thomas, Jack Morris
2015: Randy Johnson, Pedro Martinez, Mike Mussina
2016: Ken Griffey Jr.
Here are the guys for next year with their year of eligibility and last year's percentage of the vote, not including guys in their first year on the ballot...
Craig Biggio (5th - 72.2), Mike Piazza (5th - 69.8), Tim Raines (10th - 66.2), Jeff Bagwell (7th - 63.6), Lee Smith (15th - 56.8), Trevor Hoffman (2nd - 52.6), John Smoltz (3rd - 51.9), Edgar Martinez (8th - 50.9), Barry Bonds (5th - 46.2), Curt Schilling (5th - 45.8), Jeff Kent (4th - 40.3), Roger Clemens (5th - 39.6), Billy Wagner (2nd - 38.9), Kenny Rogers (4th - 35.2), Jim Edmonds (2nd - 35), Larry Walker (7th - 34.6), Brian Giles (3rd - 32.3), Nomar Garciaparra (3rd - 30.7), Gary Sheffield (3rd - 28.2), Luis Gonzalez (4th - 26.3), Fred McGriff (8th - 25.7), Carlos Delgado (3rd - 24.9), Mark McGwire (11th - 21.9), Jason Kendall (2nd - 17), Rafael Palmeiro (7th - 15.8), Sammy Sosa (5th - 14.5), Moises Alou (4th - 14.3), Luis Castillo (2nd - 14.2), Mike Hampton (2nd - 13.2), Garret Anderson (2nd - 12.8), Mike Lowell (2nd - 12.8), Troy Glaus (2nd - 10.2),
I like the somewhat randomness of it. There are only a few guys who seem to have a vote percentage off from what I would have in my head, namely, Mike Hampton and Brian Giles with too many votes and Smoltz and maybe Hoffman with too little.
