Good to see the roids guys getting in. Hopefully that means Bonds gets the call in the next few years

Edgar had the biggest jump.

Vlad and Hoffman are clearly going in.

Bonds and Clemens failed to crack 60%.

First thing that came to my mind lol.

Imagine if Kent and Bonds were in the same induction class? Induction day would be must-see TV.

Predicting Hoffman, Vlad, Thome, and Chipper for next year.

I'd also hope for Rolen but I think he will have to wait.

Was about to post same thing. Those four are probaly the only that will make it next year.

Rolen should be a HOFer, but I wouldn't be surprised if he had to permanently wait. As in never making the hall.

Correction, Raines had the biggest jump. I meant among those who didn't make it.

I think Rolen will eventually make it but it will be a while.

If Bagwell is in, McGriff should be closer

-Out of hiding to give kudos to Raines.

Overdue, IMO.
