Hall Of Fame Announcement

[CrimsonCowboy]

We all know Chipper will get the call today, along with likely Jim Thome and Vladimir Guerrero. Any surprises today?

[thewupk]

Hoffman should get in as well. The surprise to me would be Edgar. He's made up a lot of ground but will likely fall a little short this year.

I too think Edgar will fall short. No other surprises. I also think Andruw will fall off the ballot.

Went back to Rico's thread. Had Chipper, Thome and Hoffman. Felt that Vlad was more deserving than Thome but might have to wait a year. Looks like it will be at least Chipper, Thome and Vlad.

[The Chosen One]

Chipper 97.2%

What a joke! Either Rivera or Jeter will get 100% now.

[The Chosen One]

Andruw survives at 7.3%

[CrimsonCowboy]

Andruw Jones fails to make 10%, but stays on the ballot

[The Chosen One]

Andruw Jones fails to make 10%, but stays on the ballot

I think with the ballot clearing up now, he has a good chance to make it all 10 years if not make it in the next 5-6 years.

[CrimsonCowboy]

Edgar Martinez finished up at 70.4% with next year being his last on the ballot. Bonds and Clemens below 60%.

Edgar gets in. Unfortunately Crime Dog probably won't.

No they won't. They may surpass Griffey but there will always be that one guy.

[thewupk]

Andruw survives at 7.3%

We have time

I'm not sure how high he will get or if time will help him. But I do know there are atleast like 10 players who admitted they would vote for Andruw if they could nominate more than 10. So the unclogging of the ballot will help players like Andruw

Next year interesting. Rosenthal, Costas and a few others on the panel are already saying they want Andruw to be on longer.

Only Rivera is a lock. Helton may get some love for being Mr. Rockie and being there forever.

Big chance for Mussina, Edgar, Schilling to make a move and get in with the ballot clearing up the last few years.
