My 2015 HOF Ballot:
- Barry Bonds
- Roger Clemens
- Randy Johnson
- Pedro Martinez
- John Smoltz
- Jeff Bagwell
- Craig Biggio
- Mike Piazza
- Mike Mussina
- Tim Raines
Man I wish I could find a spot to vote for Edgar Martinez. Wish I could include Larry Walker (very under appreciated) and Gary Sheffield. Definitely tempted to vote for Jeff Kent as well.

HardballTalk: More Hall of Fame ballots like Adam Rubin’s please
I'd switch out Schilling for Mussina. Otherwise, they are my choices.

Gotta think most of the pitchers (aside from Clemens) all avoid any PED stink and get in even with so many of the voters being complete fucking asshole idiots, though Schilling and Mussina may kind of split their vote and end up short - Smoltz, Johnson, and Pedro all should get voted in. Biggio should finally get in this year as well.
I think it's a joke that dominant guys who have not had any real speculation about PED use are being punished by the morons. Piazza should be a unanimous choice. Bagwell should get in. If you wanna make the guys who were either caught by MLB or whomever, I disagree but at least there is some sense to that. But not voting for people with no stink on them aside form being strong is ridiculous.

Can I just say that every guy on this list should be voted in by a fairly easy decision. Clemens and Bonds were HOF'ers even before the suspicions. That list is my teenage/early-20s years. Put them in and the put Pete Rose in dammit!!!!!!

I don't wanna re-start a "Should Bonds get in?" argument... I simply wanna say that, right towards the end, once damn near everybody including me hated the guy, I could not help but watch every AB he had... he may have sold his soul to the devil, but the results were truly astounding... if the pitch was hittable, he hit it out of the ballpark... if we had records of homer-to-hittable-pitch ratio, he would have left everybody in the dust... by a mile... he made even the best hitters look ordinary by comparison... I didn't want this to be true, but it was true anyway....

Buster Olney is abstaining from Hall of Fame voting
Just so we're clear, this is different from turning in a blank ballot and thus lowering the percentage for everyone. This is not turning in a ballot, period, which doesn't count against anyone.
A writer of his stature calling the process broken and not voting likely will have an impact, and I hope he'll discuss it every chance he gets in the media. Maybe more will follow his lead and there will be a real movement towards change that can't be shut down by the Hall.
