Well, Ichiro Suzuki, CC Sabathia, Billy Wagner were all elected to Hall of Fame. 1 vote shy of 100% for Ichiro.
All 3 were over 80%, Wagner (dad of Will) on his final try. Close and likely to get there next year is Carlos Beltrán (70.3%) while also close is wife beater Andruw Jones (66.2%).
The PED crew are sub 40% but over 25% - Álex Rodríguez, Manny Ramírez, and Andy Pettitte
Ex-Jays were Omar Vizquel 17.8%, Mark Buehrle 11.4%, plus one and done guys: Russell Martin 2.3% (guess elite catcher defense doesn't matter to HOF voters), Troy Tulowitzki 1.0%, Curtis Granderson 0.8%.
3 guys sadly didn't get a vote: Ben Zobrist, Fernando Rodney (now playing in the Intercounty League here in Ontario), and Hanley Ramírez.
Next year is a weak one with Cole Hamels 59.0 bWAR the best among newbies, with Ryan Braun's 47.1 the only other one over 35. No real closers either (they can sneak in sub 30 WAR). It will also be Edwin Encarnación's one time on the ballot (no chance he gets 5% imo but he should get a few votes from Toronto area writers as a 'thank you' for 2016's WC homer). 2027's ballot sees no one special again (none with 45 WAR or 300 saves), then 2028's has Albert Pujols (lock), Robinson Canó (unlikely for off field issues), and ex-Jay David Price (no chance). 2029 (as far as we can go) has a few really good ones in Miguel Cabrera, Joey Votto, and Zack Greinke.
