The list is getting long so some of last year's guys were cut. This year, I am using all ten spots. In my opinion, It's pretty hard not to right now. Based on space, I have only left Bonds/Clemens on from those tied fairly directly to steroids. To me, their awards, stats, etc. are too exceptional to leave off.
The backup of players into the Hall over the last handful of years will unfortunately cause some players to fall off the Hall of Fame list who otherwise wouldn't have. As I have said before, I don't believe you can ignore that time period so I am of the belief that we should be voting in the statistically deserving players, regardless, but it's ultimately not going to happen based on the requirements around the number of players that can be on a ballot, etc.
However, on the flip side, I am still honoring McGriff because I think he played the right way during his career. It doesn't hurt that he was my favorite player for a decade as well.
My 2014 MLB Hall of Fame vote is as follows:
Jeff Bagwell
Craig Biggio
Barry Bonds
Roger Clemens
Tom Glavine
Jeff Kent
Greg Maddux
Fred McGriff
Mike Piazza
Frank Thomas
It took me a long time to add Glavine and Thomas this year. I'd guess they will both get in this year. If not this year, they will next year I would think.
I do believe there are two levels of Hall of Famers though, the no doubt first timers (like Maddux) and the exceptional players that should ultimately make it but they may need to be a little patient (which I would classify Glavine in for sure and Thomas for the most part as well).
My guess at players with >=60% of the vote this year (1/7/14):
Maddux 93%
Glavine 79%
----------
Biggio 73%
Thomas 72%
Piazza 70%
Morris 67%
Bagwell 65%
