2016 Hall of Fame Ballot, Who would you vote for?

Here's another head scratcher. Hernandez won 12 Gold Gloves. Yet, his career dWAR is 0.6.

I watched him play first base. He was spectacular. He changed opposing manager strategy. So how is it that his glove work was worth only a half a win over a replacement first baseman?

I am still torn on Clemens and Bonds, as those guys were truly special players even before they juiced. I am not convinced Clemens has the latter day resurgence without the medication. He looked to this untrained eye like he was cooked around '93 and not sure he did enough before then to warrant entry. But what a stretch of dominance from 1986-1992. Barry Bonds was just a tremendous hitter who achieved almost God-like skills when he went on the PEDs. Tough call. Those two aside, my ballot -

Griffey
Raines
Piazza
Schilling
Mussina
Bagwell
Walker
Trammell

Stats and metrics favor different players. Rick Reuschel had a high WAR, yet no movement.

Hernandez had a better OPS+ and was a better defender than Ebbets product Hodges.
