PrintThis year we had 130 eligible votes for our Interactive Hall of Fame ballot. I had to chop off plenty for multiple entries and for going over the maximum 10 votes for each player. These are simple rules people. It really isn't that hard.
98 votes were needed to cross the 75% threshold. We only had one player get the necessary amount of votes for 2012 enshrinement.
He's In: Barry Larkin is your sole inductee for 2012. He was named on 107 ballots... good enough for 82%.
So close but yet so far: Tim Raines (96 votes- 73.8%), Jeff Bagwell (96 votes- 73.8%), Edgar Martinez (91 votes- 70%)
More than half way there (37.5%) : Alan Trammell (65 votes- 50%), Jack Morris ( 52 votes- 40%)
Solid Support (20-37.5%): Lee Smith (48 votes- 36.9%), Fred McGriff (42 votes- 32.3%), Mark McGwire (41 votes- 31.5%), Don Mattingly (34 votes- 26.1%), Larry Walker (32 votes- 24.6%), Rafael Palmeiro (26 votes- 20%), Bernie Williams (26 votes- 20%)
Still on ballot (5-19.9%): Dale Murphy (25 votes- 19.2%), Tim Salmon (7 votes- 5.3%)
Off the ballot (>5%): Juan Gonzalez (5 votes), Javy Lopez (4 votes), Vinny Castilla (3 votes), Phil Nevin (3 votes), Jeromy Burnitz (2 votes), Brian Jordan (2 votes), Brad Radke (2 votes), Ruben Sierra (2 votes), Tony Womack (2 votes), Eric Young (2 votes), Bill Mueller (0 votes), Terry Mulholland (0 votes).
Unfortunately, I think we are going to be a good representation of the actual balloting. Id love if Raines, Bagwell, Edgar, Trammell or Morris would get enough votes for enshrinement... but I think Larkin goes solo.
I was surprised that we had two first ballot guys stay on. Bernie Williams is pretty much a given to stay on Monday, but we also had Tim Salmon get the 7 necessary votes.
Comparing this year to last year, it is interesting to see that last year we voted in Raines and Larkin fell just short. This year Larkin got in easy and Raines barely fell off.
The biggest gains were from Fred McGriff 19% to 32%, Don Mattingly 11%- 26% and Jack Morris 18%- 40%.
Our stance on steroids pretty much stayed the same as Mark Mcgwire remained at 31%, though Palmeiro picked up an extra 6%.
Next season is going to be a rough vote. Entering the ballot will be Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens, Mike Piazza, Sammy Sosa, Curt Schilling, Craig Biggio, Kenny Lofton, Steve Finley, David Wells, Julio Franco, Sandy Alomar, Shawn Green, Jose Mesa and one of my personal favorites, Roberto Hernandez.

It came from afar and traveled sedately on, a shrug of eternity
He doesn't want us to see that he voted for Morris 10 times.

My favorite Morris nugget from this week was on clubhouse confidential
During his career (17 years I think) Morris compiled a 3.90 ERA. The MLB average ERA over that span was 3.91.
Oops i didn't know that i had the block on. sorry
i think you can all see it now.
Kenwo4life=ratings. Just call me Mr. USA Today.
I enjoy Morris earning 40% being listed as more than halfway there.

Yeah, just realized that.
My bad.

and burnitz.
i have few memories of him that aren’t him striking out swinging.

If Jim Rice can get in for being the GIDP king
Then Radke should be in for giving up a shitload of HRs

next ballot:
no one but piazza. and he’s suspect as well.
by obnoxious american on Jan 7, 2012 10:35 AM CST reply actions
Schilling?
He’s not suspect, is he?
by Name's Dalton on Jan 8, 2012 2:42 AM CST via mobile up reply actions
Shilling suspected
He is confirmed to be a self important,obnoxious,reprehensible douchenozzle.
Not illegal.

eh, you kind of have to suspect everyone.
i didn’t really mean it for schilling though. i didn’t realize he’s racked up almost 70 WAR so he definitely has a case.

Next Ballot:
Bonds, Bonds, Bonds, Bonds, Bonds, Bonds, Bonds, Bonds, Bonds, and Bonds

My favorite Barry Larkin memory
is when he accidently spit a huge wad of tobacco on Ethel Merman after she had just finished crooning “God Bless America” during some Marge Schott-planned seventh inning stretch festoonery.
White Sox 2012: Helplessly rebuilding?
i'm a small hall guy.
and i haven’t fully concluded what i think about his value. i mainly have park and defense concerns.
Longevity is the only real difference
I’d vote for Bags but Frank did have his nice heartfelt resurgence while not wearing a Sox uniform
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0YK2-rNQfGg
The park majorly hurt his value
what is the park concern?
expectations are premeditated resentments - cheshirecat
I think he is concerned about minute maid but that seems silly because most of his career he was in the astrodome, a hitters park
If i remember correctly, bagwell was an excellent fielder too

Lol
Some folks voted for more than 10? 10???

So when's this Floyd trade getting announced?
I’m starting to think that rumor was bogus.
AWFULLY CONVENIENT DEVELOPMENT!
My source jumped the gun; says Floyd to #Jays will be finalized by weekend. #Sox have concerns of the health of #Jays prospects coming back.

Ha sounds like the "sources" jumped the gun a little.
Is this guy at all a reliable source Jim? I know the other person spouting off on this on twitter came off as pretty shady. What about “FarrellBall”?
No idea.
But Jays bloggers are already 0-for-1 with the Yu Darvish signing, so I’m chalking it up as pretend news. I just wrote about it for the historical tangents it created.
Haha.
I find it very odd that this hasn’t been mentioned even in passing on MLBtraderumors.
Coop can fix that.
Some people get so rich they lose all respect for humanity. That's how rich I want to be.
Here is something in WSO article about it
Not much said about it….

Uhhh...what did I say other than that it was completely unverified?

I meant....
to put it in accounting terms, you provided negative assurance rather than positive assurance… that’s what I sorta meant.

i only deleted people who voted more than once and people that voted for more than 10 people.
do you think i would go through and say “shoeless in SC… Fuck that guy” and delete you? lol
Kenwo4life=ratings. Just call me Mr. USA Today.
I don't think I voted more than once or for more than 10 people
but I can’t say for certain that I did not. With all of my double post fails it is entirely possible. Alas, I think I voted for Bagwell, Larkin, Raines, Trammell, Morris.

I'd like to hear the McGriff contingency explain themselves
I was a fan of McGriff too but I don’t see it

I didn't vote for him last year... but i started to think about it.
this guy as far as we know is clean. If he wasn’t in an era getting overshadowed by dirty players he would have been in. He was a prolific power hitter who did it year in and year out. 10 30 homer seasons… the first in 1988 the last in 2002! Plus i liked how he ended his swing.
Plus i don’t know if i’ll be able to throw him a vote next year. so i had spots available i figured id hit him up.
Kenwo4life=ratings. Just call me Mr. USA Today.
i have a feeling a lot of guys vote totals are going to drop the next few years. some awfully good ballots coming up
Kenwo4life=ratings. Just call me Mr. USA Today.
yeah, he might not get a vote from me next year.
or maybe he will, because i’ll be reactionary against clemens and bonds.
Crime Dog was one of my faves growin' up.
But he’s just barely on the outside in my book.
by Shoeless In SC on Jan 7, 2012 2:58 PM CST up reply actions
i voted for him because i like him and because he was damn good.
maybe he isn’t a hall guy, but he is close enough to justify.
he probably would have got the 75% a few years back when being around 500 homers was a ticket in.
Shit. angels extended howie kendrick 4 yrs...
was hoping that the sox would target him next year.
