john/z28jdI dont see how you could say John Wetteland doesnt deserve a single vote when in the same paragraph you say Sutter deserves to be enshrined.Their career numbers are as follows(both played 12 seasons)
Wetteland 48-45 2.93 330 saves in 612 games
Sutter 68-71 2.83 300 saves in 661 games
If you put their ERA into historical perspective,Sutter was 1.02 better than league average while Wetteland was 1.40 better.Wetteland was also on 4 playoff teams,had a slightly better WHIP rating(walks+hits per inning pitched).Wetteland had a much better K/IP rate and had eight 30 save seasons to 4 for Sutter.Sutter might have 5 save titles but 3 of them came for teams with losing records so are they really better than being a closer for 4 playoff teams which couldve easily been 5 since Wetteland was the closer for the 1994 Expos team that was in 1st when the strike was called?
So are you sure these guys are both really that different that one deserves to be elected and the other deserves 0 votes?
