Interesting when I went to see how the votes stacked up, this caught my eye. Walker and Jeter match up very closely on a lot of stat lines. The obvious is the AB and H differences, but think of what Walker might have done with those extra 4000 at bats! It really makes you think that Walker was not that bad of a choice for HOF as many regular fans thought.

Cuz if Griffey, or Seaver, or Ryan didn’t get 100% then why should Jeter...
Not my view, but probably the argument
I'm most disappointed for Cliff Lee. I always liked him, especially on the Phillies, and all he did was win. 143-91, 3.52 ERA (ok a little high but he was right in the middle of the power era) but great WHIPs, won one Cy Young, and in the prime of his career he was good for 6+ WAR a year. He took a little longer than most HOFers to get good in the majors, then couldn't stay healthy enough to get 32-33 starts each year, and had to hang it up a couple years too early. Rather than finishing in Mike Mussina territory, he finished more in Roy Oswalt territory, and that's too bad.
Right?? Who in their right mind would not have voted for Nolan freakin' Ryan to be in the HOF???
Still wondering who was “that guy” who didn’t vote for Jeter?
I heard that the guy didn't vote for Jeter because he knew Jeter would get enough votes to get in anyhow. To me, that's poor reasoning and that guy should be excluded from HOF voting in the future. Don't worry about how others vote...it's supposed to be how YOU see their accomplishments.
If he voted for 10 guys though, I can see his reasoning. Jeter didn't need his vote to get elected, and if he thought there were 10 other guys that warranted his vote, I don't see a problem.
