Mets Hall of Fame Challenge

From this year's Hall of Fame Ballot, guess the order in which these ex-Mets will finish in the BBWAA voting.


[list]

  • [*]Bobby Abreu, 2014 Mets

  • [*]Heath Bell, 2004–2006 Mets

  • [*]Jeff Kent, 1992–1996 Mets

  • [*]J.J. Putz, 2009 Mets

  • [*]Gary Sheffield, 2009 Mets

  • [*]José Valverde, 2014 Mets

  • [*]Billy Wagner, 2006–2009 Mets
    • [/list]

    Also, to make it a little more nuanced, guess which ex-Met players, if any, will be inducted, and guess each player's percentages of the total vote.



    Winner gets a baseball book picked from a list I will publish at a later date.

    The funny thing is that, if you had told me Bell was still active, I'd've believed you.

    You people are lying. Jose Valverde was never a Met.

    Billy Wagner, 25

    Jeff Kent, 22 percent

    Gary Sheffield, 19 percent

    Bobby Abreu, 4 percent

    Heath Bell, 0 percent

    J.J. Putz, 0 percent

    José Valverde, 0 percent



    I think Wagner gets a boost from Lee Smith going in, but he has a long way to go. Kent's still treading water. I think the trend toward posting ballots online means fewer writers will throw away a vote on someone like Bell or Putz.

    My one hunch is Abreu will top 5% after a spate of analytics-driven “you don't realize how good he was” articles, the kind of stuff that wouldn't have moved the needle even five years ago (especially on the more crowded ballots of the period).

    I guess we shouldn't tell him about Big Jim Henderson.
