Rorro

His full name is Felipe Rojas Alou.

Few people outside of the Caribbean include the 'Rojas'.

Check his brothers in B-R.

I agree. Have him at minus -3 at this point (180 ballots). This year's trend has been great fot him, but his history with private ballots is not very good.

The only real suspense this year...

Agree. Keep seeing him staying out, but really, really close.

Close enough that next year's weak ballot will be easy for him. And Jones.

Apart from Bonds, Clemens and Sheffield, who have PEDs related issues, Beltrán, Jones, Vizquel and Wagner, still on the ballot, got over 50%

And Schilling got to 70% twice

Solid, non-PED ballot.

Always thought of him as a HoFer on his personality alone.

His numbers helped, as well as all the publicity from playing for the Yankees (and the Indians of that era, too).

Where do I sign?

This could be my post. Completely agree.

Looks like Vegas is building their first championship team, if you ask me.

I think he'll make it next year. His momentum, plus a weaker ballot will be enough.

Finally.

I have him finishing at 68-69%, mostly because he always ends up lower after the private votes are added.

Utley could very well make interesting increases in 2026 and 2027, when the ballots are (way) weaker.

The real trial will be when Pujols and Miggy et al appear after 2028.

Yay for Félix. So curious to see where he finishes at. 30% for a first year sounds very interesting.

I know his numbers will (?) fall down a bit (a lot?), but he's looking pretty fine right about now.

Even Bill James thought, at the time, he was HoF bound.

Twin ballots!

* non-Minnesota kind

Love the headline. I would only change "could" for "will".

Yeah, about that. Baerga said that Arráez should have won the Silver Slugger over Ketel.

You *may* be on the wrong here. Just sayin'.

I was waiting for 'something' to force me to make to jump here.

Found it.
