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.
