I also agree with you that David Cone and perhaps Kevin Brown deserve a second look.

The thing that bothers me with some of the players like Mattingly, Belle, and Murphy (all peak vs. longevity guys) is that this is their THIRD time on the ballot each...why not give others a chance and let more time pass before just throwing them on again?
