The positive side shows a three-time 20 Game winner who finished in the top ten in bWAR for Pitchers and ERA three times (1923, 1927 & 1928). These were three pretty good seasons, but beyond that he was just average to mediocre and was essentially a compiler in terms of Wins. Haines was good, but a suspect Hall of Famer, but with three World Series wins, he likely would not care where he is ranked.
St. Louis selected Haines for their first Hall of Fame Class in 2014.

The rank here was a struggle for us.
Jesse Haines is a Baseball Hall of Famer (inducted in 1970 by the Veteran’s Committee) and he played all but one of his games for the Cardinals, so when we were doing this list we initially did not expect him to be so low. Haines recorded 210 Wins for St. Louis, which is second all-time, so how do we come up with a rank in the ’30s?
