Seriously, I think this is a pretty weak class this year. Probably Jack Morris although he wasn't really friendly with the media. I wouldn't be surprised if Jim Rice got voted in because he has been so close the last few years but I only see Morris as borderline hall worthy.

There's been a lot of talk around Boston about Rice getting more support. For a period of 12 years he led the majors in a bunch of categories, including home runs, RBI's, hits and slugging.
I supposed I should answer my own question; if I had a ballot, here would be my picks:
Bert Blyleven (the best active pitcher not in the Hall)
Jim Rice (the top hitter of his day)
Goose Gossage (ridiculous numbers as a reliever, only hurt because he hung around so long)
I'm also well aware of the fact that my all-time favorite baseball player, Don Mattingly, will NEVER be voted into the Hall.
