I'm interested to see how many votes Kenny Lofton gets. I liked him as a player, he's probably not HoF material but I wonder if he gets enough love to stay on the ballot.
Looking over last years ballot. Tim Salmon(5), Bill Mueller(4), Brad Radke(2), Javy Lopez(1), and Eric Young(1) got votes. 
Here's who'd I vote for: (voters can vote for as many as 10 players)
Barry Bonds
Roger Clemens
Sammy Sosa
Mike Piazza
Mark McGwire
Curt Schilling
Jeff Bagwell
Craig Biggio
Tim Raines
Fred McGriff

Bonds, Clemens and Sosa all belong in. Even if you're someone who believes steroids are magic pills, in an era where nearly everyone was on them, the greats still stood out and guys like Nook Logan still sucked.
Bonds and Clemens were on the HoF path even before they took "PEDs" too.
It's a shame Bagwell is getting shafted just because he played in that era. When he has never been tied to steroids. The idiotic voters just assume he was.

(The balls being juiced during the steroid probably has more to do with inflated numbers in that era than "PEDs" did, but that's beating a dead horse around here at this point.)
