Scott Rolen had to depend on the “Old School” voting crowd. Helton, Wagner, Jones & Sheffield had historic leaps. Carlos Beltrán gets more love than those PED “cheaters.” jaysonst has five takeaways from the Baseball Hall of Fame election ⤵️
So the message seems clear: Their “cheating” is officially being viewed as more scandalous than Beltrán and his fancy, high-tech, trash-can “cheating.” That’s obvious, just from looking at his vote totals. But let’s zoom in a little closer., many of Beltrán’s votes were coming from the same voters who were checking the names of A-Rod and Manny Ramírez. But now that we have hundreds more votes to break down, it turns out that those voters weren’t the best ones to study.

Exhibit A is a gentleman named Fred McGriff. He, too, logged 10 years on the writers’ ballot. He never made it to 40 percent in any of those years . And how’d that work out? Pretty, pretty good.

But after Beltré, we’ll have two more super interesting first-year attractions to chew on: Joe Mauer and Chase Utley. There had never been any such thing as a catcher who was a three-time batting champ, until Mauer. Except Mauer then finished his career with five seasons at first base that didn’t quite remind anybody of Lou Gehrig. So if the first-base years are stuck in some voters’ heads, he’ll be a fascinating candidate.
