Just wanted to hop in here and and comment on how much this tool has helped my universe in terms of selecting players for the HOF. I don't use Win Shares, but instead rely on the 4 other measurements...HOF Monitor, Standard, and 2 Ink scores.
My general criteria is a player must meet the qualifying standard in 3 of the 4 to be eligible for the Hall. Only exception to that rule is if they have a HOF Monitor score greater than 130...in that case any other 1 qualifying metric will get them into the Hall. The metrics used are what Tysok had suggested:
HOF Monitor: 100
HOF Standard: 50
Black Ink: 40
Gray Ink: 185

So for example, in 18 years of my universe, I've only had 2 batters and 3 pitchers qualify based on the 3 out of 4 requirement, while 6 batters and 5 pitchers total have been inducted using the 130 plus 1 measuring stick. There are a couple players on the bubble, and I would love to induct them, but I'm holding firm to my rules and they'll have to hope for a Veterens committee in 40-50 years.

Here's my question though. I currently induct players the year they retire. Does anyone know if their measurements could possibly change over time? Is there a reason if I'm using this tool to wait 5 years? or will a HOF Standard score of 65 today always be 65 even 100 years from now?
