Two pitchers and one hitter enter this year. These three are all very close to today's RL average HOFer based on the Ink and HOFm/s standards.

------------

Pud Galvin was the first pick overall in the 1892 draft. He won the Cy Young Award in 1894 with a 33-10 record and led the league in wins, win %, IP strikeouts, K/9, CG, CG%, and WAR.

He retired in 1910 after posting 250 career wins vs 232 losses. He had a career OOTP ERA of 3.02 which gave him a non park adjusted ERA+ of 109.

He was in the WS twice, and on the winning side once. He was also 2 time All Star and pitched 30 shutouts.

Picked by the program to be in the Hall, he enters on the Veteran Standard.

Black Ink 52 (19)
Gray Ink 190 (250)
HOFm 129.5 (202)
HOFs 36 (60)

--------------

Paul Derringer is the closest thing to an "average" 2012 HOFer, yet. It is easier to compare a starting pitcher in this way because of the added scores middle infielders and catchers get that allow them in with lower raw offensive numbers than outfielders and corner infielders.

Normalizing each of the 4 categories to a 1 average, a sum of 4 would be considered "average" 2012 for the Hall. Derringer's sum is 3.9.

Derringer pitched from 1902 through the 1918 season compiling a record of 238-222 with an OOTP ERA of 2.54 and a non park adjusted ERA+ of 109. In 477 starts he threw 42 shutouts and struck out 1717 batters while walking 809.

In 1904, he won the CYA with a 29-9 record and a 2.06 ERA. From 1904-1909, he won 133 games with ERAs ranging from 1.77 to 2.35.

He started 5 times in two World Series. He went 3-1 in those games and posting a 1.76 (npa ERA+ 157) in those 5 appearances. His team won both times, consecutively.

Like Galvin, Derringer was a program HOF selection at the time of his retirement who enters on the Veteran Standard.

Black 43 (19)
Gray 178 (180)
HOFm 110 (98)

--------------

Jim "The Toy Cannon" Wynn had a seat marked way the heck back in the upper deck of the Astrodome where he once hit a ball. I never saw a game there, but did take a tour of the dome on a spring break trip (the crews were preparing the ball diamond for the upcoming season, I remember) when I was around 9 years-old and just looked in awe at the distance from from where home plate would be to that seat.

He has been immortalized in my mind from that day, and it is nice to see him immortalized in this HOF.

Jimmy Wynn retired from his simulated career in 1945 with the most HRs of any player eligible, but not in, with 328. That's one more than Hall resident Evan Longoria.

Wynn was the first player drafted in 1923. From 1924 he collected 2660 hits while batting .277. He has the third most walks in league history with 1663 which gives him a Jamesian seal of approval in getting him an OBP 105 points above his BA. He led the league in walks 7 times.

His 286 HRs as a CFer are the most in league history.

Wynn won 5 GGs in CF and was an All Star 4 times. He won two WS in 4 appearances and hit for the cycle twice.

Wynn enters by virtue of his HOFs number being above the Hall average.

His sim npa OPS+ of 126 compares to RL OPS+ of 129.

Black 31 (4)
Gray 201 (94)
HOFm 88.5 (36)
HOFs 58 (30)
