HOF Standards - average HOF is 50
HOF Monitor - > 100 means likely HOFer

Here are Hunter's numbers:
BI: 20
GI: 151
HOFS: 42
HOFM: 131.5

Here are Rogers' numbers:
BI: 2
GI: 87
HOFS: 30
HOFM: 66

And Wells:
BI: 24
GI: 123
HOFS: 40
HOFM: 88

So Hunter is far below average for a HOF but according to their index he does belong. Rogers isn't even close, Wells is close but still has a ways to go which is unlikely at his age.
I agree...both good pitchers but not HOFers. Besides which the next few years are gonna be crowded with candidates...most much more deserving!
