Nice article. I think of Greinke as a lock but his Baseball Reference metrics are surprisingly (to me) not as good as I thought they would be.
Hall of Fame Statistics Black Ink Pitching - 14 (204), Average HOFer ≈ 40 Gray Ink Pitching - 170 (88), Average HOFer ≈ 185 Hall of Fame Monitor Pitching - 114 (79), Likely HOFer ≈ 100 Hall of Fame Standards Pitching - 48 (44), Average HOFer ≈ 50

Thanks for reading, Peter!
Yes, Grienke is an interesting one. By WAR, he clearly belongs in the hall, but I can see why some people have their questions. By the HOF stats, he's pretty close on everything but Black Ink, which isn't a great indicator in this day and age*. The solid "gray" but low "black" score means he was often among the league leaders in some key categories, but not very often THE leader. The fact that a LOT of his career value (almost 50% by WAR, better raw numbers in most stats) came AFTER age 30 makes him a bit unusual, as well. * - Black Ink gives more points for leading the league in Wins than it does ERA, for example. |
