I have added the composite scores for the entrants (I am thinking I should call it the Gorilla Composite, since I invented it). 4.0 is the arithmetic mean for the real HOF. The median score score is around a 3.6. I think this (Gorilla) Composite gives a nice read on what type of career a player had in comparison to other great players by taking into account peak seasons, position played, longevity, and overall performance compared to his peers.

-------------------------------

Matt Cain enters as the career leader in wins. He posted a career record of 298-214 from 1981 through 2001. Though he only struck out 200 batters in a season once (an even 200 in 1984), Cain enters the HOF in 5th place on the all time K list with 3337 (vs 1376 walks).

Taken with the 5th overall pick by the Red Sox in the 1980 draft, Cain enters the Hall as the career leader in GS (681), IP (4794.2) and WAR (119.1). He also holds the mark for most hits surrendered (4610).

In 1986 he led the Red Sox to a 103 win season and a WS win. Ryan Garko was playing 1B.....

In that 1986 season he went 25-5 with an OOTP ERA of 2.69 (npa ERA+ 149) to win his first of 3 Cy Young Awards.

After having won with Red Sox, he went to the White Sox and won 2 more CYAs and two more WS.

He threw 25 shutouts in his career, 14th most all-time.

Cain appeared in 6 AS games.

Black Ink: 39
Gray Ink: 223
HOFm: 178.3
HOFs: 52

Gorilla Composite (yeah, I think I like the name): 3.9

--------------------------

George Davies struck out 3557 batters in a career which saw him throw just 3101.2 innings. He is second on the All-time K list (the leader is still active) and 8th on the All-Time K/9 list.

Davies enters the Hall with an amazing 225-114 record. There is no player with more than 92 wins with a higher career win%. His OOTP ERA of 2.67 in this environment is equally amazing. A career npa ERA+ of 167 is something I have never seen for a pitcher with 200+ wins.

Davies was the first overall selection in the 1986 draft by the Atlanta Braves.

A 7 time All-Star, Davies won 4 CYAs between 1991 and 2000. No longer the dominant pitcher he had been, Davies woon his first and only WS in his Swan Song season of 2004, with the Royals.

Davies struck out 300 batters in a season 5 times between 1990 and 2000. The most IP he logged in any of those seasons was 275. 4 times he posyed OOTP ERAs under 2.00. In 1992, he went 19-9 with an OOTP ERA of 1.74, striking out 309 while walking 60 in 264.2 IP. This was good for a npa ERA+ of 236...his second consecutive season with a nap ERA+ above 200. Yeah, he was dominant.

ADD: George Davies career ERA is the best of any pitcher with 10 years of service time.
ADD: Davies walked only 805 batters in his career to yield a 4.42 K/BB rate.

Black Ink: 59
Gray Ink: 212
HOFm: 218.1
HOFs: 60

Gorilla Composite: 5.0

---------------------------

On the HOFm for pitchers I have adjusted the point distribution for post season play. I am distributing the points equally over the entire play-offs, so a post season start is worth the same be it in the WS or LDS. This is resulting in fractional values and is why the HOFm numbers for pitchers are in decimals.
