For the fourth time, first baseman Todd Helton is on the Hall of Fame ballot. While he is not expected to be inducted this year, the long-time Rockie has made progress towards Cooperstown.

Coming out of college from a Divison III program, Caleb Boushley had a shot to make the big leagues. After dominating at the University of Wisconsin-LA Crosse for three seasons, the youngster made a statement for his name.
If you had to pick a recent pitcher who embodies the term “crafty lefty”, Mark Buehrle would be at the front of the line. Does he get into Cooperstown?
Tim Hudson is on the ballot for the second time this year. Although he flew under the radar during his career, enough voters felt he deserved another shot. Can Hudson make some gains this year?
Andruw Jones is on the MLB Hall of Fame ballot for the fifth time after nabbing his most votes last year with 33.9 percent. Will the outfielder continue to get a boost with each year of eligibility? Will he wind up eventually being inducted into Cooperstown?
Roger Clemens is on the ballot for the 10th and final time this year. His statistics are easily Cooperstown-worthy, but obviously, there are other things to consider. Still needing an extra 13.4 percent of the vote and time running out, can the Rocket finally get in?
Brandon Lockridge attended Pensacola Catholic High School in his hometown. The shortstop was considered one of the best players on his team and dominated all four years. He then decided to attend Troy University to play for the Trojans.
Curt Schilling is on the Hall of Fame ballot for the 10th and final time this year after falling just short last year with 71.1 percent of the vote. It’s time to take a deeper look at his numbers as a player (which is what the voters should do) to see if he has a legitimate case.
Jeff Kent is on the ballot for the ninth time this year. He managed to get to 32.4 percent last year and would need a huge boost to make the 75 percent needed. Is he Cooperstown worthy?
Manny Ramirez is on the ballot for the sixth time this year. He stayed stagnant on the ballot last year, earning 28.2 percent of the vote, the same percentage he earned on the 2020 ballot. Will he get enough support even through his controversies to get in?
Over the last few years, Tanner Houck has been key to the Boston Red Sox’s success. The former first-round pick made his MLB debut two years ago and has excelled regardless of the role.
Omar Vizquel is on the ballot for the fifth year. While he started out great, he saw his support wane as he went from 52.6 percent in 2019 to 49.1 percent last year. Let’s take a look at his chances for Cooperstown.
