    This will be a difficult year for the HOF that precedes quite possibly one of the greatest in 2007.

    If I had to guess, Bruce Sutter probably gets closest since he didn't miss by much last year.

    I expect Andre Dawson to get more votes, but will probably still be a few years away.

    I sure hope Jim Rice gets some love this year.

    Other than that, I hope some of the Negro League candidates nominated get in - especially Buck O'Neil. Love that guy.

    my guess is nobody....though I think Dawson, Rice, and Gossage should. They will most likely go with a few Negro League players this time around.

    I know he wont, but would love to see Dale Murphy elected....

    My guess is Sutter

    I'm guessing Rice leapfrogs others and gets in due to the recent re-apreciation of his 10 year dominance without Steroid assistance.

    However, my PSA 10 77 and 78 Sutter are screming through their holders that they deserve to get in.

    I've got inside information on who will be elected!!!




    Someone who is still living and can make a speech will get in

    Next MONTH? So he's saying that if he wins, the best-case scenario is that he'll be paying for it two weeks after the auction ends?

    Forget blocking him; find out where he lives and go punch him in the nuts. --WalterSobchak 9/12/12

    I think it is indeed Ron Santo's time.

    Jim Rice ..............maybe

    Bert Blyleven...........Possibly


    Bruce Sutter............Longshot but deserving.

    As for negro league guys I have no idea but assume that a guy or 2 will enter.

    Good for you.

    Gossage might. Sutter might. Rice might, but had he played for the Brewers instead of the Red Sox, he wouldn't have a prayer.

    Bert Blyleven won't, but he should. 3701 strikeouts should mean something.

    Hey guys,

    I believe the veterans ballot is every two years (next one in 2007), so no Ron Santo this year.

    Based on what I've heard and read from other writers, I would be shocked if Bruce Sutter did not get voted in.

    My prediction is that it is going to be Bruce Sutter and Jim Rice.

    Goose Gossage will be just short (between 65 and 74%), with Andre Dawson, Bert Blyleven, Jack Morris and Tommy John all having their vote counts jump significantly.

    The momentum for Jack Morris is the greatest, but I can't see him jumping to 75% this year.
  • WinPitcherWinPitcher Posts: 27,726 ✭✭✭
    Ahh I did not realise that santo was now on the vet ballot. Too bad as he is deserving. As much as............... .well nevermind.


    Morris.....................I forgot about him. Thing about him is all those 18-16 type years.

    Jim kaat should already be in but he seems to have been lost in the shuffle.

    In any event w/o a true superstar type guy this year it should be interesting.

    Good for you.

    ESPN radio was unofficially saying Bruce Sutter is the only one to get in based on "sources"

    I wouldn't rank Sutter over Rice, Dawson or Blyleven. But, I'd rank Gossage pretty even with Sutter.

    I think that Dawson and Blyleven deserve to be in, no matter what.

    Funny that this thread is here. I was "goofing off" at work this afternoon and put together my list:
    Jim Rice Andre Dawson Bruce Sutter

    and I think Blyleven belongs in the hall, but won't make it this time.

    What? No love for Walt Weiss?

    I'd like to see Rice get in.

    Bruce Sutter 344 66.7
    Jim Rice 307 59.5
    Rich Gossage 285 55.2
    Andre Dawson 270 52.3
    Bert Blyleven 211 40.9
    Lee Smith 200 38.8
    Jack Morris 172 33.3
    Tommy John 123 23.8
    Steve Garvey 106 20.5


    That is the list from last years votes. Based on those numbers Sutter should get in, Rice and Gossage are possibilities and Dawson has an outside chance.

    My second prediction for tomorrow: Steve (balco757) is going to have two of the hottest cards on eBay with his PSA 10 Sutter rookie and second year. image

    Actually, the Sutter rookie is tough to find in nice condition. Even some of the 8s and 9s I have seen are questionable.

    I'm 99.9% sure that Sutter will be enshrined tomorrow.

  • aro13aro13 Posts: 1,961 ✭✭✭
    Writer11 - I think you are going to be correct. Very rarely do players jump from under 60% to the required 75% of the vote in one year.
