Returning to the ballot:
Barry Larkin
Jack Morris
Lee Smith
Jeff Bagwell
Tim Raines
Edgar Martinez
Alan Trammel
Larry Walker
Mark McGwire
Fred McGriff
Don Mattingly
Dale Murphy
Rafael Palmeiro
Juan Gonzalez
The only player appearing on the ballot for the first time who COULD be (I vote No though) Hall of Fame Worthy, is Bernie Williams
(According to Bill James HOF Monitor, Bernie could be a Hall Of Famer, but I vote no)
Players I would vote for
Larkin, Bagwell, Lee Smith, Rafael Palmeiro (yes even though he cheated), and possibly Mark McGwire. Why do I say possibly for McGwire and yes to Palmeiro. Simple, McGwire was good at 1 thing and 1 thing only, and that was hitting HR's. Palmeiro still racked up over 3000 hits (McGwire had less than 1700), and well over 500 HR's and played very good defense, whereas McGwire was BAD defensively.
Bernie was my favorite player of all time, but he's going to fall short. At least he will get a plaque in Monument Park at Yankee Stadium and he's certainly worthy of that.
