There have been seven new Hall-of-Fame Inductees in the past two years - first baseman Frank Thomas, second baseman Craig Biggio and pitchers Tommy Glavine, Greg Maddux, Randy Johnson, Pedro Martinez and John Smoltz. This somewhat alleviates the log jam on the ballot which is due largely to confusion and division on how to deal with players linked to the Performance Enhancing Drugs (PED), but new candidates and several worthy holdovers still make voting a challenge. There are 31 eligible players and writers can vote for up to 10 candidates. I, of course, do not have a vote, but will fill my theoretical ballot here.
