'08 Hall of Fame Candidates and Voting

Today, the list of MLB's Hall of Fame candidates was announced, including many names we all grew up watching, and a few hold-overs from last year who didn't quite make the cut. It'd be interesting to gain AN's opinions on these candidates, and see how much they vary from my own.

Utilizing ESPN.com's summary, the candidates are:

• Brady Anderson
• Harold Baines
• Rod Beck
• Bert Blyleven
• Dave Concepcion
• Andre Dawson
• Shawon Dunston
• Chuck Finley
• Travis Fryman
• Rich "Goose" Gossage
• Tommy John
• David Justice
• Chuck Knoblauch
• Don Mattingly
• Mark McGwire
• Jack Morris
• Dale Murphy
• Robb Nen
• Dave Parker
• Tim Raines
• Jim Rice
• Jose Rijo
• Lee Smith
• Todd Stottlemyre
• Alan Trammell

If I had a vote, I would vote for:

  • Harold Baines
  • Bert Blyleven
  • Andre Dawson
  • Goose Gossage
  • Mark McGwire
  • Dale Murphy
  • Tim Raines

But then again, I'm a lot nicer than the typical BBWA writer. Who would you vote for?
