\nJack Morris 382 (66.7%) 13<\/p><\/blockquote>\n With two more years to go, it looks like Jack Morris will make it, no matter how undeserving he may be.<\/p>\n Jeff Bagwell 321 (56.0%) 2
\nLee Smith 290 (50.6%) 10
\nTim Raines 279 (48.7%) 5<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Time is running out for Lee Smith, and I doubt he ever makes it.\u00a0 How Tim Raines and Jeff Bagwell continue to get so little support is, frankly, baffling.<\/p>\n Alan Trammell 211 (36.8%) 11
\nEdgar Martinez 209 (36.5%) 3
\nFred McGriff 137 (23.9%) 3
\nLarry Walker 131 (22.9%) 2<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Besides Trammell, this group seems to be getting punished for things mostly outside their control.\u00a0 Martinez for not playing the field, McGriff for having “pedestrian” power numbers during the steroid era, and Walker for playing his home games in Colorado.<\/p>\n Mark McGwire 112 (19.5%) 6
\nDon Mattingly 102 (17.8%) 12
\nDale Murphy 83 (14.5%) 14
\nRafael Palmeiro 72 (12.6%) 2<\/p><\/blockquote>\n McGwire and Palmeiro continue to wear the PED badge of shame.\u00a0 Mattingly and Murphy continue to show that it isn’t how bright your star burns, but for how long as well.<\/p>\n Bernie Williams 55 (9.6%) 1<\/p><\/blockquote>\n I am actually pleasently surprised by this total.\u00a0 While Bernie Williams was a perfectly good player, even above average, I figured he would get much more support simply because he was a Yankee.\u00a0 Good to see the voters use some thought for once.<\/p>\n Finally, these players received less than 5% of the vote and will fall off the ballot.<\/p>\n Juan Gonzalez 23 (4.0%) 2
