[cjay101]

(the AB threshold increased from 3250 to 4000, and the IP/saves threshold went from 1200/100 to 1500/125)

Still waiting for some of the 'big bangers' to retire and become eligible. We should have our first hall of famer in a year or two when one of the big shoes drop.

Booooo

The 4000 AB threshold is a tough one alone for my Athletics. After the Wright trade, I only have 2 guys on the team with that many ABs - Jed Lowrie and Ian Stewart, neither of which are HOF worthy. Better get Bowers more ABs and get Heighway back on track!!! My only given I think for the HOF is Jiang, and I am hoping he has another 3 good years left.

No shockers on the list, I did think Sheets would have picked up more votes this time around though.

I was pretty depressed overall with this year's retirements. It isn't very exciting holding hall of fame balloting without some superstar players. It's just a longevity issue, they will be coming soon enough.

Sheets GOT screwed by the system in his first year, it will be interesting to see if he can recover.

Doubtful, looks like some players got a little puch after 2-3 years and then either drop or maintain.

Go Dane Keogh!

Juan Cordova - 20% (3rd year)
Dan Nelson - 15% (1st year)
