not nessarily, he could move up

Lets say Joe Jackson is number 3 after 3rd year of elgibility.
In the next 2 years no player that becomes elgible for hall passes his total points so he gets in.
Remember the 5 year waiting period and you probably wont see 20 players that become eligble better than the the top 10. Maybe a few.
I could change the 3rd player that is alternated between pitcher and hitter each year to the oldtimer selection.Maybe electing only a player from say a 20 or 30 years past.

Besides if he cant top the players before him or after him does he really deserve to get in.

I may make a 15 year egibility and then add him to the old timers election.

Not perfect but picking hall of famers should be enjoyable.
For me its fun to see who gets in and not knw for sure.
That extra award or all-star game might be the deciding factor.
Where with me picking them it would be too easy to go with the real thing like ruth, cobb, etc.

Of course with fictional league its a little easier to have unpersuaded judgement.
