37 Ballots public still show Raines and Bagwell are the front runners this year both having been listed on 33 ballots (89%). Pudge Rodriquez is trailing by 3 votes (81%) and Trevor Hoffman is sitting at 29 votes (78%).
Even though Hoffman is above the threshold currently, he has not gained a vote this year (having gained 4 new votes, but losing votes on 4 other ballots).
Raines has already gained 4 votes from people that didn't vote for him last year. Making a good case that he could finally make the HOF in this his 10th year on the ballot.
If Pudge makes it in could it open the door to other alleged (but not proven) PED users?
