HOF Veterans Comittee questionaire update

Post by femgo »

The inquiry I made about the creation of the Veterans Comittee resulted in 14 answers, one of them didn't give the SD username.
So I'm considering 13 answers (every owner except eragon, sirguru and slowjoe).
The results (I hope you dont mind that I share your answers):

Do you agree with the creation of a veterans committee?
yes: 10
indifferent: 2 (MNRebel and Satyr)
no: 1 (paulcaraccio)

Do you agree with the rules proposed?
yes: 9
indifferent: 3 (satyr, jthurm and paulcaraccio)
no: 1 (2below)

Comments (I will exclude the ones that are just saying the rules are good):
"I'm dispassionate, ok with me if it's approved. I just think they have enough chances already. Thanks Felipe!" Paulc
"5 season wait instead of 10" 2Below
"A 5 year wait period would be better in my opinon." jthurm

I personally dont agree with a 5 year period because 1. with a 10 year wait we already have 60 years of retired players to analyse and 2. a 5 year wait means a player who were for 4 years on the ballot will only have to wait one more year to get back with the veteran comittee, this is not enough time to have a fresh perspective on the player. But what all other owners think?

Except for this point we are ready and can start this process already in the beginning of 2020 because we had a big majority (10 out of 13) of owners supporting this.

What you guys think?

I like your point about the 5 vs 10 year wait. I think most of these guys would make it 4 years on the normal ballot. Not much will change in the 5th year.

Let's get it started. I think it'll be fun to look back at old candidates

I'm ready to go.
5 years, 10 years, decide and let's get it started.
I don't think it will cause as much of a conflict or annoyance as might be thought...
