The National Baseball Hall of Fame will announce their newest induction class next week. So why not put the vote up to the GoTeamsGo faithful? There are three poll threads with all of the 25 candidates.

• Candidates must be named on 75 percent of the ballots cast to gain entry into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, N.Y.
  
• A player who is named on fewer than 5% of ballots is dropped from future elections.
  
• You can vote for up to 10 players (try to keep to this rule. Meaning, you can vote for up to 10 players combined in the three threads).

If you wish, give reasons for your selections.

I'm not voting for McGwire.

With Mattingly, he wasn't an elite player for a period of time. After 1989, he only had one year with over 15 home runs. Five or six great years out of a 13-year career is not HOF-worthy in my book.

Tommy John is borderline with his 288 wins. If you consider the surgery, he's an automatic. But I didn't.

Dale Murphy is borderline with his back-to-back NL MVPs. 7x All Star, 5x Gold Glove. He had some great power years (1980, 1982-1987), but his average was below average if you look at his entire career (.265). Top 10 in NL HR and RBI 15 times. He's the type of guy who you may toss and turn, right now, I'd vote for him.

Jack Morris, 254 wins. Career ERA almost at 4...he had some nice offenses behind him. 20 wins three times in his career. 3x World Series winner..including the famous Game 7. 5x All Star, 1991 WS MVP, Led Al in Wins twice. I don't see him as an elite starter. He was very good, but not HOF in my eyes.

Justice, McGwire and Mattingly get votes for me.

No one has ever proven that Big Mac broke the rules. His name wasn't even in the Mitchell Report. So with his numbers, he's in.

Mattingly and Murphy are tweeners who get the nod from me because I loved they way each of them played the game.
