2018 MLB HOF Class - Follow Up

I posted in January that I liked this new class of Vlad Guerrero, Chipper Jones, Jim Thome, and Trevor Hoffman.  Since then the ridiculous "Modern Baseball Era" committee has added Jack Morris and Alan Trammel.  Rarely have I been as bothered by a decision as this.  I know the line for HOF players is hard to define, but to me these 2 are clearly below it.

Trammel is interesting because he had a long career and was really good.  He hit .285 with just a little power at shortstop.  Had around 2,300 hits.  Never won any major awards, never led the league in anything, but went to 6 all-star games and won 4 gold gloves.  Solid but not HOF.  However advanced metrics says he was much better as his career WAR is 11th among shortstops.

Morris is even worse.  He was a workhorse for sure.  But, a career ERA of 3.90 in that era is simply not impressive.  His career strikeout to walk ratio of 1.8 is mediocre, as is his .577 won-loss %.  Never won a Cy Young, never finished 2nd.  Went to 5 all-star games.  Meanwhile Mike Mussina had an ERA .22 better than Morris while pitching in the heart of the steroid era, had a won-loss of of .638, and a strikeout to walk ratio of 3.6.  What's really stunning is that Morris has the 163rd best WAR among starting pitchers while Mussina is 29th.

This crap is what gives the HOF a bad name.  In no way do these 2 belong with the 1st 4 in this class and makes me not even want to watch.
