Hader contract is insane. Not sure I get why the Astros thought he’s a fit. One last hurrah before they move on from some guys?

Stephenson looks like a discount Hader if the breakout is legit. Glad the Phillies gave him a look.

Except they didn't sign him
Right. Stephenson is interesting, but I think 3x$10MM is risky for him. Probably not the best investment with the near dead weight already on the roster. Also, they don't really need to be desperate to add to the bullpen.

Utley with a very strong first-year showing. Bodes well.

That's quite the fall after the unknowns were added. He was at 39.4% in the public ballots. He and Sheffield had the biggest drops.

Vizquel was at 11% in public. I believe he had the biggest increase.

Let's just say those opinions track with what I think of non-public voters. Sexual harassment is bad and all, but don't you dare have a peak less than a decade.

Still anything over what? 25% or so? Usually is a pretty good indicator of eventual enshrinement. Dumbf***ery notwithstanding

Looks like the HOF got it right this year. Sheffield I assume is PED related otherwise he should be in. Wagner I don't think is a HOFer but wouldn't be mad if he got in next year. I assume Utley and some others will climb their way up but not sure if they ever reach 75%.
