WBL Hall of GOATs
- Thread starter OU11
- Start date
We can't rename it to the Hall of GOATs. I wish we could.
Since we have the ability to vote finally, I took off auto induction.

Can we run a report with those HOF metrics for all WBL players at once?

I voted for a rack of people, 3 former Distillers and a few that I thought actually deserved it.
Most of the guys I'll really recognize as HOF material aren't on there yet.

THANK YOU Dermott McHeshi
Yeah I've only got two now I look again. Banjo Caine and Phillip Oort.
I'm seriously considering Danny McDermid.

You guys are generous. Only three of these guys are worthy of being called goats. No coincidence that two of them were former Flying Whites.
osick just wants to flood the HoG with average players

I didn't vote anyone.
No one on the list is a 1st ballot HoG'er. I might vote for Tornado, Banjo, and Yilmanz in the future, but not as a 1st ballot.

I think these are the only three I voted for.
Tornado and Yilmanz for sure. I think the third was Banjo.
Cue rad with "Don't discuss HOG ballots"

Can you reset my votes? I forgot it was the Hall of GOATS and Mercier hasn't retired yet.

The only question you need to ask yourself when voting for GOATs is, "Did they play for False Bay?"

Banjo IMO is a no brainer.
Oort was 2x MVP and A-S in 8 of his 9 years. The 2nd best at his position in his generation which IMO is HoG (with Pottenger being the best catcher). His career was cut short but still how many guys win 2 MVPs and basically make the ASG every year?
Tornado IMO is the definition of the "if we had his pre-2033 stats he's automatically in" guys. He hit .347 his age 40 year which I don't remember seeing anyone close to that. His overall average is incredible (.321 for his 31-41 years) but he didn't do much except for average. 285 SBs and some nice gap power but that was about it. I keep him off for now.
Yilmanz is all about the value of RP. 9 of 12 ASG but just a 9.0 WAR overall. 2nd All-Time in saves. Was really helped by defense. I don't think he's a GOAT.
Coffin Park is another "pre-2033 stats" guy... 5x led the league in Ks and 6th all-time in K/9 (the other 5 are active and haven't hit their decline yet). But now I look more I just doesn't have enough.
Danny MacDermid is kinda like Tim Lincecum. 2x Cy, dominant early in his career but done by age 34. 2x Cy carries a lot of weight with me but so does his very, very low BABIPs he got. My 2038 team is probably the best defensive team we've had in the WBL/UBL. I had a team BABIP of .260 and I had a solid, not great staff that had a 2.99 ERA (2nd in WBL history). So I say no for now to Danny Mac.
One more guy to consider: Duke Ramos. 2nd highest WAR of any position player on the ballot. Won an outstanding hitter. Probably the best 2B of his generation unless I'm missing someone. I don't think he's got enough because he retired so young but his peak was pretty good.

Glad to see two Seoul Glow in there, but Blanks was no GOAT.

There's a guy in there with a .247 average. Thanks, JD.

Lol. In all seriousness the only hitter I voted for was Tornado.
I didn't even see Ramos was on the list. Some things are sacred man. Not even my FB bias would've voted him in. Jesus man.
