john/z28jdJust to clear it up,i wasnt condoning Wetteland making the hall of fame or being close but i dont think Sutter shouldve been 400 votes better than him when its obvious comparing them,especially the 5 times closing for a 1st place team for Wetteland compared to once for Sutter in the same time frame,theyre not as far off as you would imagine.The better numbers for Wetteland vs other relievers from his own era also help out the comparison so its not total apples and oranges
Wetteland averaged just over 1.2 outs per appearance,Sutter averaged just over 1.5 so youre talking about just under 1 extra out recorded per outing....is that really a huge difference where you cant compare them?
