The vast majority of "bad" choices, like Baines, Morris, and Wilson were made by various permeations of the "veteran's committees". I feel like those committees are valuable for picking up players the writer's should have elected (Alan Trammell, for example), but they need some criteria and openness, not closed door secrecy.
