Baseball Think Factory - 15% of Vote

Never really kept up with voting until this year so I'm not sure if this is an accurate prediction of what's to come or not. I'm actually surprised Biggio isn't a shoe in and that Bagwell has that many votes. As a Stros fan, it would be awesome to see them go in together. Interesting to see Bonds and Clemens under 50%. Again, I don't know if this is an accurate prediction or not.

ETA - Last year they were pretty spot on with Larkin's % and called for him to be the only one to get in.

Last year:

Barry Larkin ----- 86.4% ---> accurate
Jack Morris ----- 66.6% ---> gizmo was 8% too low
Jeff Bagwell ---- 56.0% ---> accurate
Lee Smith ------ 50.6% ---> gizmo was 6% too low
Tim Raines ----- 48.7% ---> 4% too high
Alan Trammell -- 36.8% ---> accurate
Edgar Martínez - 36.5% ---> 4% too low
Fred McGriff --- 23.9% ---> accurate
Larry Walker --- 22.9% ---> 5% too low
Mark McGwire --- 19.5% ---> accurate
Don Mattingly - 17.8% ---> 7% too low
Dale Murphy ---- 14.5% ---> accurate
Rafael Palmeiro -- 12.6% ---> accurate
Bernie Williams -- 9.6% ---> 6% too low
Juan González --- 4.0% ---> 3% too low

if they are keeping out roiders, Bagwell is the most obvious roider in the world

It will be a travesty if Biggio doesn't get in.

Would be awesome to see Biggio and Bagwell go in the same year.

Too many baseball players get into the HOF every year IMO. It's very skewed too as you can have a weaker class some years and a guy who wouldn't have gotten in makes it.

McGriff is way too low. Look at his career numbers. Never link to steroids and no suspision. He was hitting 30-40 homers almost yearly just before the steroid era when that was a ton of homers. He hit 20+ homers in 15 seasons, finished with 493.

I think that Piazza might be the only one that gets in this time. Of the voters (48) that ESPN spoke with less than 40% said they will vote for Bonds this year, Sosa was at 14%

I wish he had a couple more great years to get himself into the hall of fame. He might of been the best 5 tool player of his generation.
