I agree with you on the 'yes or no' idea. I'm curious whether the HOF would look much different as a result. It might affect Edgar Martinez, as some voters are realizing that currently popular new metrics make him look much better.
I know a HOF voter who I will ask about this, as he voted for 10 players this go-round.
