How are these eight like Baines?
3 are obviously statistically HOFers, but have the David Ortiz problem that was just ignored.
2 are punished for personality and/or politics.
2 are questionable but are the opposite of Baines; Mattingly and Murphy are peak players not accumulators.
McGriff comes the closest, but he hardly seems to be a Baines type choice at all.
Schilling, if elected, will be elected for his 79.5 WAR and statistical performance, not for being an “all-time moron”.
