This is the committee that put Ron Santo in 3 years ago (only meets every third year). Announcement should be in early December. Kaat, Hodges, Oliva, and Minoso were all pretty close last time.
Edit: if he were back on the ballot, I don't think any group of voters the HOF has had would vote Rose in. A lot of people who previously pushed for him look like idiots because he lied to their faces for years.
that could very well be, it is a safe bet that he will never be elected, entirely possible for the exact reasons you mentioned. rose as the evidence clearly shows, threw games, and in spite of his great records, how can you justify letting in a man who confessed to throwing games, if you let him in, don't you lower the bar?
