The Hall's 2010 Writers Ballot -- Introduction

The Baseball Hall Of Fame has released its 2010 candidate ballot for voting by the eligible members of the Baseball Writers' Association Of America (BBWAA).

I'll be doing complete candidate reviews in the coming days, probably in three parts, as there are 26 names on the ballot.

The candidates:

Returning from the 2009 ballot (11): Harold Baines, Bert Blyleven, Andre Dawson, Don Mattingly, Mark McGwire, Jack Morris, Dale Murphy, Dave Parker, Tim Raines, Lee Smith, Alan Trammell.

Rookie candidates (15): Roberto Alomar, Kevin Appier, Ellis Burks, Andres Galarraga, Pat Hentgen, Mike Jackson, Eric Karros, Ray Lankford, Barry Larkin, Edgar Martinez, Fred McGriff, Shane Reynolds, David Segui, Robin Ventura, Todd Zeile.

Congratulations for making the ballot, men. That's a distinction all on its own. Let's see which of you truly measure up to the level of the Hall.

Andre Dawson should be in, after him Tim Raines, Roberto Alomar, and Fred McGriff would get my votes.
