I like the whole "don't get 5 votes, can't get on the next ballot" part a lot. Should keep some of the same guys appearing every 3 year cycle.
I'm not so sure about the "two ballots w/ less than 5 votes and you're done forever". In an era like the "post 1980", the chance of a very stacked ballot is very real. Some good candidates could get dropped off the ballot without a real fair shake.
I'm really interested to see who is on the ballot this year for post 1980. Whitaker? Evans? Lofton? Schilling? Or do they trot the PED guys out again to get their first "less than 5 votes" appearance over with?
