Alan Trammell

Trammell returns to the ballot this year for the 14th time. He was World Series MVP in 1984, had a .285 career average,  participating in the All-Star Game six times. He was an overlooked shortstop during his prime when injuries allowed other player to overshadow him.

In terms of career WAR, Trammell ranks eighth all-time at shortstop. All other players (besides the still-ineligible Derek Jeter) in the top 16 have reached hall of fame status.

In terms of career bWAR, WAR7 and JAWS, Trammell outranks Biggio, who nearly made it into the Baseball Hall of Fame just last year. That being said, induction for Trammell is long overdue, but somehow he cant even get over 37 percent of the votes.
