The Fred McGriff Hall of Fame debate

I know Hall of Fame week was last week, but writers are still writing about it and people are still debating about it. Take Fred McGriff, who has now been on the ballot seven years. He received 21.5 percent of the vote his first year, peaked at 23.9 percent in 2012, declined to 11.9 and 12.9 percent in the crowded ballot years of 2014 and 2015 and then climbed back up to 20.9 percent this year. With only three years left on the ballot, his chances of selection are slim, although I do think discussion around his candidacy is going to pick up.
