Next year, I'd expect several hold over candidates to get elected with no automatic 1st year candidates. Manny ain't getting elected because of multiple failed drug tests. Pudge has PED rumors. Vladimir Guerrero has the best chance but isn't quite the automatic 1st ballot player voters like. Posada will get support from the biased NY writers.
Assuming Griffey, Bagwell, Piazza, and Raines get elected this year, the 2017 HOF class could look like this:
- Trevor Hoffman
- Edgar Martinez
- Curt Schilling
- Mike Mussina
