My thoughts..
I owe Steve Bryan a gift basket. He was in if I closed the ballot when originally planned. That said, I could just regift Paco Lopez's gift basket to me because he was out.
We have 5 guys that will be going on their 9th ballot next vote, clogging up the ballot and stealing each other's votes.
Not much surprising, league seems split on the whole Thomas and Wu issue.
Jim Cole's lack of support is starting to be more puzzling than Pablo Lopez's IMO
Doing this for 16 ballots now, you notice some trends. New England almost always one of first three to vote, South Park always last three, but first time I noticed someone copy & paste another person's ballot. I always wondered why Beefy doesn't just do that and save some grief. Also noticed someone's system, just vote whoever has 100 or more on Monitor score.
Relievers had a strong showing this ballot.
Most newbies went one and done as expected, it wasn't a strong class except for McMinn and Brady. McMinn I thought would get more votes and Murray I thought would at least make it to 2 or 3 ballots. Still no catcher in our HOF.
Next ballot should have 2 sure-fire 1st ballot inductees, it will be interesting to see who falls by wayside or if anyone joins them.
Thanks for voting.
Our Hall of Fame remains...
