All,
It's that time again. I removed Jim Lillis and Emil Campbell from this season's ballot because they received no votes last season. Lou Roy is the one holdover. New candidates below. Thank you for voting!
Lou Roy - SS
http://simdynasty.com/player.jsp?id=5133789
Lou Roy was the defining shortstop of his generation. The 1976 AL Rookie of the Year, he started 7 in 7 of his 9 All-Star appearances. The prototypical top of the order guy, Roy had gap power that translated in 3 seasons with at least 40 doubles, 3 seasons with at least 11 triples, 5 seasons slugging over .500, and 10 seasons with at least 20 home runs. Roy paired this bat with some serious glove, winning the Gold Glove 4 times. All told, the 1983 NL MVP was on 4 World Series winners, and finished his illustrious career with a .290 BA, over 300 homers, and over 300 steals.
NEW CANDIDATES
Mike Stone - SP
http://simdynasty.com/player.jsp?id=4916974
Perrennial All-Star starter Mike Stone thought 5 man rotations were funny. The 11-time All-Star and 4-time 20 game winner logged 3,956.1 innings over his career, good for 6th all-time. He led the league in complete games 5 times, and innings 5 times. His 257 wins are 13th all-time and 2,998 K's are 8th all-time.
Charlie Brinkman - RF
http://simdynasty.com/player.jsp?id=5133832
One of the great former New York Bombers (Alcoholics), Brinkman was a table setter of the highest order. A 9 time All-Star, Brinkman scored over 103 runs 11 times his career to go with 4, 200 hit seasons and a career OBP of .370 (17th All-time). A well-rounded offensive force, he ended his career with over 1500 runs scored, over 2600 hits, over 440 doubles, over 100 triples, 1100 walks, and over 390 steals. His career batting average was .293.
Ike McLaughlin - SS

Life-long Cubbie and stalwart Shortstop Ike McLaughlin was a rock in the middle infield of 3 World Series winners. The 5-time All-Star won the NL MVP award twice.

Cubs vote for none.
We loved McLaughlin at SS for all those years , but like the others , his overall numbers are just not HOF worthy.

Stone
Really on the line with Brinkman. Nearly 1600 runs scored for a career is pretty impressive. Maybe next year.
