my votes

[ksushi]

Goose, Rice and Bert.

[jacksonianmarch]

Raines should make it in eventually. Not first ballot, but eventually IMO.

 

.385 career OBP, 800+SB, 170HR, .294 career AVG dragged down by hanging on too long.

Think Big Mac still has a shot even after all the steroid issues?

I know some of those guys would never be considered by many, but I figured that since BBWAA members vote for up to 10 players, i'd pick these 6 that I think should be in, except Mattingly. Not that I don't think he should be in, but I know he never will be, and outside of New York isn't as appreciated as he should be. Still, the Yankee fan in me couldn't help but give him one of the votes. I considered Tim Raines, but passed. Maybe another year..

[TheKilo]

I'll say Blyleven and Gossage. Rice probably doesn't deserve to get in, but this is his best chance. The class is very weak.

[Rodney Harrison]

Next year's doesn't look any better.

 

Steve Avery

Jay Bell

Mike Bordick

John Burkett

David Cone

Ron Gant

Mark Grace

Rickey Henderson

Denny Neagle

Dean Palmer

Dan Plesac

Henderson's in...Cone maybe?

[Thumper]

Henderson is a lock for the Hall.

 

I'd love to see Mo in, but I think the Veteran's Committee and BBWAA would say otherwise.

 

Then again, compared to the others on that list, Henderson, maybe Cone, and Vaugh seem to be top 3 selections.

PEDs aside, Matt Williams would get in before Mo Vaughn
