here's the JAWS breakdown for Catchers ---

Posted by Will Hunting (aka JoeMetz) Feb 17 '15, 06:35

I like this system -- gives you an average of career WAR, 7yr WAR and one other....

he's 16th in that in history...some guys below him are HOFers some are questionable Breshnanhan, but others Campy) aren't...

But several guys are ahead of him who already came up as not worth Simmons for one, Munson who fit the same criteria as leader of champions...

He's Hall of Very Good.

I'm enjoying looking at this. My perception is that Posada gets in during his first five years on the ballot. - David Feb 17, 06:39 8
- Ted Simmons has absurd counting stats for a guy at that position...I think he's the biggest sin of omission here. - Will Hunting Feb 17, 06:40 7
  - Oh, Tenace walked like 18% of the time. That explains the OPS - Will Hunting Feb 17, 06:44 6
    - More stats wonking: McCutchen is #14 all-time in OPS+. Trout is 3! - David Feb 17, 06:47 5
      - Trout is so unbelievably absurd, I just pray he is on juice, suffers an injury or does soemthing stupid like try to change his approach - Will Hunting Feb 17, 07:02
      - yeah, Bernie is a guy who needed a few more years to rack up counting stats - Will Hunting Feb 17, 06:49 3
        
        I do think Posada and Bernie have the same assets with regards to voting. - David Feb 17, 06:52 2
        
        I think Pettitte had a better chance *if he was good enough* becuase he was as forthright as anyone was. - Will Hunting Feb 17, 06:59

  - BTW, Posada is 16 in this category. Yogi is tied for 8. -- nm - David Feb 17, 06:43
  - ^u^ -- nm - David Feb 17, 06:42
- Yeah, as long as he doesn't stop hitting for the next 6 years, he's probably in. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 17, 06:38 3
