I highly doubt Hoffman will get in any time soon. He was more or less Lee Smith 2.0 and he's not in. He never touched Rivera and I don't think anyone remembers him as a shut down clutch pitcher. He was just a guy who got a lot of saves.

Hoffman had a lot more accomplishments and better numbers than Lee Smith did.

Any way you want to slice it he's not a top tier HOFer and should have some difficulty getting in. He didn't have cache like say Rollie Fingers or Eckersley did and his reputation is pretty bland, unlike say a Goose Gossage.

With 55 public votes in (representing 12.22%) of the vote it is leaning towards three possible candidates being inducted.
Griffey 100% (55) Piazza having gained 4 votes from returning voters and a vote from all three new voters sits at 89.1% (49) Bagwell gained 10 returning votes and all three new voters votes is at 81.8% (45) Tim Rains is worth mentioning as he is the only other candidate with more than 70% of the vote with 74.5% (41). He has gained 5 votes and is supported by the three new voters. https://onedrive.live.com/view.aspx?...C7uZHAmcVGWgwE

Bagwell gaining so many votes among a small sample may be a good sign for him. As an update: 6 more public ballots have been added to the tracker bringing it to 61 votes (13.56%). Griffey is still at 100% (I imagine no one would admit to not voting for him and his percentage won't go down until combined with nonpublic votes) Piazza gained 5 more votes, putting him to 88.5% (54) Bagwell gained 4 votes, putting him to 80.3% Raines gained 5 votes, this brought him up to 75.4%

What specifically do you mean by cache and substance?

Fingers won 3 world series in a row and was WS MVP, along with CY and MVP during the regular season. Eckersley was CY and MVP as well. Gossage was a feared reliever and a colorful character his whole career and a WS champion.
Hoffman was......a guy who got a lot of saves and never won anything. Last edited by packs; 12-18-2015 at 07:17 AM. |

Yes but there aren't very many relievers in the HOF. You need to be the top of the top. I just don't think he ever was. Lee Smith's not in for the same reason.
