Next year might be even more tougher for Alomar and Blyleven since ESPN said the big names comming in will be Rafael Palmeiro, Juan Gonzalez, Larry Walker, Jeff Bagwell, John Franco and Kevin Brown.

Blyleven should make it since he was just 5 votes away.

Palmeiro won't get in for lying under oath.

Juan Gonzalez - 434 HR and 2 MVP awards... borderline, gets in eventually.

Larry Walker was too Coors field enhanced.

Bagwell is a slam dunk first ballot HOF.

John Franco and Kevin Brown have no chance.

Next year we'll have Bagwell, Alomar and Blyleven in. Barry Larkin will come close.

Looking at the list of first-time eligibles for next year, I do have to say I feel bad for Johnny Franco. 4th all time in saves (and was only the 2nd to get to 400 saves)...but the longevity factor ultimately is gonna spell doom for him. Had he hung 'em up after 1999 when he already had 400 saves and Armando Benitez was to be the new closer, I think he would have definitely gotten in. He might have even gotten in if he had retired after Tommy John surgery in '01. But those extra years after that I think fucked up his chances.

Looking forward to the Class of 2013...which will likely include Mike Piazza HOPEFULLY the first guy to go in as a Met since Seaver
