Since '99, the Hall has averaged 2 admittees per year (though immediately prior to that, it was less). Skeptical me thinks that pace may continue. On average, I don't see two "locks" per year among the future new candidates which could bode well for on-the-cusp guys like Smith, Rice, etc.

Through 2010, I only see as "locks" Gwynn, Ripken, McGwire and Henderson, with Raines likely. Who am I missing? That would only be 5 in as many years.
