The ballot for the 2020 baseball Hall of Fame class was released a couple weeks ago. So it's time for me to put out my theoretical ballot of who I would vote for as well as my prediction of what the results will be. Last year I predicted all 4 new inductees. Hopefully I can do as well this year.
This year's ballot includes the following 32 players:
Curt Schilling Roger Clemens Barry Bonds Larry Walker Omar Vizquel Manny Ramirez
Jeff Kent Scott Rolen Billy Wagner Todd Helton Gary Sheffiled Andy Pettite Sammy Sosa
Andruw Jones Derek Jeter Bobby Abreu Jason Giambi Cliff Lee Rafael Furcal
Eric Chavez Josh Beckett Alfonso Soriano Brian Roberts Carlos Pena Chone Figgins
Paul Konerko Raul Ibanez Brad Penny Adam Dunn JJ Putz Jose Valverde Heath Bell
My Picks (up to 10 votes allowed):
Derek Jeter
Bobby Abreu
Larry Walker
Curt Schilling
Scott Rolen
Billy Wagner
Andruw Jones
Todd Helton
Omar Vizquel
Jeff Kent
My predictions of players I find interesting (75% of voters needed for election):
Derek Jeter- 99.3%
Curt Schilling- 81.1%
Larry Walker- 76.1%
Roger Clemens- 63.3%
Barry Bonds- 62.9%
Omar Vizquel- 53.5%
Scott Rolen-36.8%
Todd Helton-33.2%
Billy Wagner- 26.4%
Manny Ramirez- 25%
Jeff Kent- 24.7%
Bobby Abreu- 15.7%
Andruw Jones-8.1%
This year I also decided to look at the Veteran's committee ballot. This includes players who had previously been on the hall of fame ballot and not elected.
The ballot:
Lou Whitaker Dwight Evans Tommy John Dale Murphy Ted Simmons Thurmon Munson
Don Mattingly Dave Parker Steve Garvey
My picks (up to 4 votes allowed):
Lou Whitaker
Ted Simmons
Dwight Evans
Thurmon Munson
*Tommy John would be 5th
My predictions:
Lou Whitaker
Ted Simmons
So there it is! My voters and predictions for the upcoming MLB Hall of Fame Ballots! Let me know what you think!
