96 Hoffman
-
Def should be a 99. Not sure. Only reasoning I can think of is similar to 95 Glavine in that they were fairly early releases? Also one of the few closers who deserved a CY award. I believe he finished 2nd in his 53/54 SV opp season. And if memory serves, he would've won it had a couple of voters not left him off their ballot entirely.

Hes among the players that they screwed their overalls along with guys like Eckersley and Whitey Ford.

I will point at career H/9, K/9, and BB/9 as to why Hoffman, Glavine, and Eckersley are not 99s. Those are the 3 attributes that drive overall( for sig series, prime and awards before the future stars and finest hate club jumps on this). Glavine and Hoffman's career K/9 isn't that good, even in their era. As for Eck, SDS has said in the past it's harder for a reliever to be a 99, and even then the best reason that proves Eck should be a 99(Sig Kenley) has better career H/9 and K/9. There are many problems with this game, but attributes and overalls on signature series cards are actually extremely accurate

Rivera 7.0 H/9* 2.0 BB/9* 8.2 K/9*
Hoffman 7.0 H/9* 2.5 BB/9* 9.4 K/9*Gossage 7.4 H/9* 3.6 BB/9* 7.5 K/9*

So Goose is the one that should be a 96?

Hard to compare across eras. Mo and Hoffman could ride in and get three outs. Goose had to go 2, 3, 4 innings, sometimes facing the same batter multiple times. Being that good in a long outing is pretty special.

I stand corrected on Hoffman then. I guess I never realized he struck that many batters out. I guess I don't know why Hoffman isn't a 99. My point on Glavine and Eck stand though. Eck would have been a 99 if they gave him an awards card. His career was so long he gets screwed on the career averages

I dont understand how they determine rating for awards either. Gagne has a 98 for his CY card.
4.0 H/9* 2.2 BB/9* 15.0 K/9*
He was absolutely dominant.
The ratings system seems arbitrary to me. -

The ratings system seems arbitrary to me.Overalls maybe are yes. The attributes themselves certainly have statistical significance behind them(except for future stars, Finest, Topps now, Monthly awards). I don't care about the overalls on the card anyway though

It appears H/9 does fall in line with a statistical formula, just going by a little quick research. Some others definitely dont. K/9 and the corresponding attributes have no correlation. I'm unclear how K/9 attribute affects gameplay, so I dont know how relevant it is. I'm only bringing that up as you mentioned it being one of the main rating factors in your earlier post.

Same with rollie and gagne

Excellent article regarding the value of Goose. He pitched in much tougher situations than the average closer today.

I have no issues with Goose, I know his value and remember what kind of a pitcher he was. I included his numbers as a comparison above, as an attempt to validate why Hoffman got screwed with his SS card.

Why is he a 96? He's just as good as MO and maybe the best closer ever.
He’s not even close to mariano Rivera. It’s one thing to be an unbelievable closer it’s a whole other thing to be an unbelievable closer in the playoffs. Mariano and Hoffman are incomparable due to the playoffs.

Of course - this was just an excuse for me to share one of my favorite articles I've read in the last few years.

i do not do well w/ him at all. I think it's his circle change that always gets hit hard. i have not used him in a long time so i think that was the pitch.

Hoffman had over 600 saves with a higher K rate Padres didnt get many playoff shots not his fault.

It’s doesn’t matter if they weren’t there or not — they aren’t comparable because of it. Mariano is not mariano because of his success in the regular season. He is the stand alone best closer ever because of the playoffs. Hoffman would have had to have playoff numbers to judge by in order for him to even be in the discussion.
You are talking a first ballot HOFer that is the first and only player to receive 100% of the vote. Hoffman isn’t mariano. It’s out of touch with reality to even suggest it. Hoffman MIGHT have been good in the playoffs. He might had been a [censored]. Not knowing because he didn’t get there doesn’t just put him on the level with mariano. That’s not how it works

He was better in 19! His circle change isn't the same this year for sure. Was a lot slower last year. It's too fast. I used him for 3 games and he blew 3 games. That was it for me
