Piazza's vote totals have trended upward enough to suggest he'll get in next year barring a change of heart from voters. Went from 59% to 62% all the way to 69.9% last year. It really wouldn't take too many more votes to get him in.
If he doesn't get in this year he could be in trouble for 2017 because Pudge is eligible, and with the exception of starting pitchers there seems to be a weird phobia some voters have about putting in guys who played the same position in the same class.
