Other first-time candidates include Brady Anderson, Rod Beck, Shawon Dunston, Chuck Finley, Travis Fryman, Chuck Knoblauch, Robb Nen, Jose Rijo and Todd Stottlemyre, while returning favorites include Mark McGwire, Rich Gossage, Jim Rice, Andre Dawson, Bert Blyleven, Lee Smith, Tommy John, Jack Morris, Dave Concepcion, Alan Trammell, Dave Parker, Don Mattingly and Dale Murphy. So who gets in?

How in the world is Brady Anderson on the ballot?

Without checking out numbers, I don't think any of the new crop will get in. Travis Fryman? Jeez, I remember him, lol. Hall of Famer? LOL!

Gossage and Rice should get in now.

[ThePundit]

If Gossage and Rice don't get in this year, they'll never get in. Although I would give some serious consideration to Todd Stottlemeyre.

I vote "HELL NO" on David Justice...just because he couldn't hang on to Hale Berry...the man had his chance in life

Big Mac is not getting in anytime soon. If he ever gets in, it will be a long time from now.

Maybe she dumped him because she knew he'd never be a hall of famer !!!

[Lefty Noob]

I liked David Justice, but I don't think he's a Hall of Famer. Like Pundit said - it's time for a little catch-up in Cooperstown.

[legend]

Rice, Gossage and Morris should all be in. None of the newly eligible are evenly remotely close except for Raines, and only because of his stolen base totals.

[Lefty Noob]

I'd still love to see Mattingly and Murphy get in, numbers be damned.

[vincesanity82]

Being biased I suppose but Id like to see Dale Murphy and David Justice..

Justice was huge for the Braves, Indians and Yankees all in playoff runs, but I can't see him making it.

Yea his stats arent quite there but he was big in playoffs, probably my first favorite Braves player..

I will make one last appeal for the hall to vote in Rice and Concepcion.

Yep...both played and represented the game above the numbers...

[Tiny Tom]

Dawson and Trammell aren't already in? I can't believe that! I say Big Mac, Gossage, Rice, Tommy John and right on the mason dixon line is Raines and Rijo.
