If no one from this list gets in again this year, what is the point of continuing this era so that the same group of people can be voted on again and again? There wouldn't seem to be a purpose and then the entire sentiment behind this process is useless.

Yes, it's just push, push, push these same tired names, while for reasons nobody seems clear on, a long list of truly deserving candidates are ignored.

+1 could not agree more

If Lou Whitaker doesn't get in on next year's modern ballot then what are they even doing over there?

Kenny Lofton better at least be nominated. Him being a 1st-ballot-and-done rejection is an insult to those that want to ignore all the roiders. The one dude that most likely didn't roid, played against roiders, got cheated out of All-Star appearances by roiders, and still performed like he did for his full career...what the hell?

Yeah, Lofton's treatment was a travesty. His skill set simply was not appreciated. In 1993, he had 148 singles and 81 walks. He also had 70 stolen bases. Basically, he turned a third of his 1st base reaches into doubles. Not too shabby in the field either w/4 GGs.

As my handle suggests, I believe Evans earned enshrinement.

I am prepared.
