I want to say no one will make it in this year, but it's tough to gauge because 4 players were on their 10th ballots last year, plus Ortiz, all who were taking away votes from other players, like Rolen, who might have made it otherwise. I wonder if there's a certain %, like say 50%, where once a player hits that they're most likely going to make it eventually. I'll say Rolen, Helton, and Wagner make it.
There was a time when I thought Kent (this is his last chance) and Sheffield (this is his second last chance) would make it, but I doubt it now.
