35 Years of the Hall Charted

We see the new floor being established along the x axis 3 point. More plots will be placed near here as the composite average continues its trend to the RL value of 4.

The current composite ave for the Hall residents is a mean of 5.4 with a Standard Deviation of 2.9.

Rounding the composites to the nearest whole number, the modal and median composite is now a 4.

I don't know if the mean will get down to a 4, but I am quite certain that when 2012 rolls around, the mean will be closer to 4 than to 5.4.

A few thoughts on some low outliers:

Bill Delancey maintaing a WAR at C better than Ted Simmons is a shock to me. DeLancey has a composite score of 1.9 and Simmons' is 7.0, but DeLancey gets the WAR edge. Would have lost that bet.

Willie McGee illustrates the undervalued player, per the composite score. We will see more of them as the points get more scarce in later years. The value of triples is undervalued by these metrics in low HR eras. This under score is not the result of scarcity, but McGee will make for a good comparison to inductions in the 90s and later.
