Those are your votes and not who you think is in, right, chud?
I really only see 2-3 guys making it because that's what the voters do, so if I were a betting man, I'd imagine Griffey gets in for sure this year, with "maybes" for Hoffman and Schilling.

I'm rooting hard for EMart, but I don't see it happening.

Yeah those are my off the cuff votes, without looking anyone up on baseball reference.

Everyone already has endless arguments over the three big 2004 draft QBs while they're playing--just wait until five years after they all retire! My take? Big Ben deserves to go in first.

It's a shame. He should be in the HoF.

Guys, I grew up in the Trammell era, and I am not a Tigers' fan. But I'm a good judge of who should be in the HoF. He should be. So should EMart. You guys should all just trust me.

I agree with both of those, so from now on I'll agree with everything you say.

I think I'm still a couple years away from being willing to support Bonds/Clemens for the HOF, and I suspect the same is true for the actual voters. They'll get in there eventually, I'm sure.
It looks like Tim Raines is going to make it in this year, though, which is cool.

It would be really nice to see them clear up this log-jam and get at least 6-7 in one year. Realistically, though, we'll get 2-4 every year and valid candidates (including many who clearly belong in the HoF) will continue to fall off the ballot.
