I think it's absolutely facinating to see that huge glut in the mid-30s, each with the massive +net from returning voters. It's direct evidence of the oft-discussed "logjam" of the last few years, where obvious HOFers didn't get in fast enough and as a result they had to hog ballot space for a few years. So now we've got some nominees whose candidacy is only just now gaining steam, because space on the ballot has only just freed up. The momentum behind Rolen and Sheffield seems to make them the next few years' causes-celebre.
I also have gone from thinking Walker will just miss this year, to thinking he's a coinflip. His 7/7 among first-time voters and big vote-flipping (and of course, the closer you were to election last year, the fewer votes there ARE to even flip) suggests that his public-to-final correction number might well be below last year's -11.3%. If he carries 85.0% through till tomorrow, he may actually pull it off. The only other drama to the announcement is whether the drop-off numbers give hope to Bonds and Clemens for next year, and whether Abreu makes a second ballot.
Lastly, among that Globe group, Bob Hohler's ballot of Jeter, Bonds, Clemens and Schilling is only slightly less-bad than Shank (about whom the less said, the better - I'll just note that in 2019 he cast a 1-vote ballot for Rivera, in 2018 voted only for Chipper, Guerrero and Thome, and was for Schilling up through 2016 but dropped him in 2017). Not top-10 most ridiculous ballots, but being that I read him and somewhat respect his thoughts on baseball, I found it disappointing that he'd cast a 4-vote ballot. Bob Ryan didn't vote for Bonds or Clemens but at least found 5 worthy candidates. Meanwhile, Tony Mazz's ballot of Jeter, Bonds, Clemens and Manny (but not Schilling or Walker), would get a facepalm if it weren't so on-brand for him.
