FINAL----HOF Ballot- Submit your own!
First off, if this needs to go in a different area, feel free to move it Leon.
I figured it would be a fun idea to submit our own votes for this years baseball HOF. I thought that setting up a forum poll would be the easiest and most accurate way of doing it, but I figured that some of you will be voting for those outside the normal top 10, which is the max for a poll on here I believe. A few rules: 1) You can vote for as little as 1 player or a max of up to 10. 2) Only list the names, not your opinions of why you think they should get in 3) You are aloud to edit your votes up until we get closer to the final announcement. 4) Do not be judgemental of someones choices. If someone would like to vote on Mike Timlin, we might not agree, but be respectful. 5) Once we get close to the official announcement, we will post our own results. Below are the names on the ballot: Jack Morris Jeff Bagwell Tim Raines Lee Smith Curt Schilling Roger Clemens Edgar Martinez Alan Trammell Larry Walker Fred McGriff Mark McGwire Don Mattingly Sammy Sosa Rafael Palmeiro Mike Mussina Jeff Kent Kenny Rogers Luis Gonzalez Moises Alou Ray Durham Hideo Nomo Tom Glavine Richie Sexson Paul Lo Duca Armando Benitez Frank Thomas Mike Timlin Barry Bonds Sean Casey Jacque Jones Greg Maddux Eric Gagne Craig Biggio J.T. Snow Todd Jones Mike Piazza I'll go first: Frank Thomas Tom Glavine Greg Maddux Jeff Kent |

maddux clemens thomas raines glavine trammell p.s. there's respectful, then there's insanity. if someone votes for mike timlin i would block the member so i don't have to deal with his instability in the future. |
1) Greg Maddox (Definitely- A lock even though he's a c***) I'm a poet and don't even know it
2) Tom Glavine (Definitely) 3) Frank Thomas (Definitely the best hitting big man that I ever have seen in my lifetime) I also like Jack Morris (The pitcher of the 1980's decade), Craig Biggio and Edgar Martinez as very strong possibilities. |

1st Ballot:
Greg Maddux Tom Glavine In a few years: Craig Biggio Mike Piazza Jeff Bagwell Frank Thomas A few years beyond that: Larry Walker Fred McGriff Mike Mussina Will be interesting to see what ever happens with these guys... Roger Clemens Mark McGwire Barry Bonds |
Roger Clemens
Fred McGriff Barry Bonds Craig Biggio Greg Maddux Next year I would vote for Frank Thomas and Tom Glavine I believe they are HOFers just not first ballot HOFers. I think that is reserved for the truly special players. |
Maddux
Glavine Trammell Biggio Thomas |
Edgar Martinez
Roger Maris |
Maddux and Thomas.
While I am sure Piazza will get his share of votes, being the best hitting catcher of all time (and arguably, I would put at least Yogi and Bench ahead of him), he cannot make up for being the worst defensive catcher of all time. |

Maddux (duh!) Big Hurt Piazza (someday I'll have to start a thread to see what people have against him!) I'd include the following, who I don't think are on the level above: Jeff Kent Biggio Mussina. I love Jack Morris, but just am not sure about him being a HOFer. Same with Raines. I think the Shilling (years of dominance) vs. Mussina (years of steady quality) debate should be talked about more!! Ken |

Tim Raines Edgar Martinez Fred McGriff Jeff Kent Tom Glavine Frank Thomas Greg Maddux Craig Biggio Mike Piazza Harder than I thought. There's close to 20 guys on that list that I think should be in the HOF. These are just my top 10. BTW, I would vote for the PED guys.. Just for fun, I'll also write in: Albert Belle.. Anyways, given the log-jam, I think voters will put in a larger class this year, to clear things out moving forward.. Piazza, Biggio, Glavine, Maddux, Thomas and possibly Bagwell all get in this year. Glavine and Maddux go in as teammates, which is another reason that I think Baggy gets in this year, I think he'll tag-along with Biggio(although, I could see this happening next year). |
Thank you to those that have participated so far. We'll let this go end of day on the 5th and we'll post final results.
For anyone that is interested, there are currently 97 known ballots that have been made public so far. Out of those 97, there would be 4 elected- Maddux, Glavine, Thomas and Biggio, with Piazza very close behind. All 97 had Maddux, and of course we all know some numbnuts didn't vote for him. But as of right now, on the 97 that we know, Maddux is on every single one. |

Nate,
Thanks for starting this thread. FWIW, congrats to Maddox, Glavine and Thomas. All 3 deserve to be in the HOF in my opinion. :) |

I believe they take anyone who meets the criteria, which would be what, not on the banned list and played at least 8 seasons.
|
The criteria to be on the HOFERS ballot is to have played for at least ten complete seasons and be retired for at least five full seasons along with not being on the banned list. If a person receives at least 5% of the votes cast they will roll over to the next years ballot. If not they are taken off the ballot. 75% is the minimum needed to gain entrance into the hall of fame.
