If the goal of committee votes is to right the wrongs of previous writers' ballots, a good way to start would be to not use them as precedent in nominating candidates. The whole point is that these guys slipped through the cracks.

Biggest problem with the Veteran's Committee nomination process is that it puts too much emphasis on the previous writers' vote. Guys who (unjustly) fell off the writers' ballot rarely get nominated. It's usually just guys who stayed on for the full term but didn't reach 75%.
@FoolishBB No Stieb, Whitaker, or Lofton is disappointing but not necessarily unexpected.

Non-steroid division I'm glad Delgado is getting another look. Very similar numbers to McGriff who also got in via committee.

This is insane. Three top 15 cWPA plays all time in the same game. Kirk's GIDP by far the highest out.

He is nothing compared to Hal Smith (+63.6%) That said, Rojas +35.4% = 9th all time Will Smith +41.5% = 4th all time
Did Rojas’ home run break the cWPA record @FoolishBB

I know nobody likes getting pitched inside like that, but Gimenéz trying to get hit by the second one and then barking at Wrobleski for actually getting hit by the third one is funny.

Vlad gets called for interference if Springer somehow steals that, right?
