I already mentioned in the other thread who I think may be elected this year -- Alomar, Larkin, Dawson, and Blyleven. But who should stay on the ballot? I will name the 26 candidates and divide it on who in my opinion who might stay and who will not stay. Among the Top 16 candidates, who is most likely not to get 5% of the vote this year and would be knocked off the ballot?

Here are the 2010 canididates for induction into the Baseball Hall of Fame:

1) Roberto Alomar
2) Harold Baines
3) Bert Blyleven
4) Andre Dawson
5) Andres Galarraga
6) Barry Larkin
7) Edgar Martinez
8) Don Mattingly
9) Fred McGriff
10) Mark McGwire
11) Jack Morris
12) Dale Murphy
13) Dave Parker
14) Tim Raines
15) Lee Smith
16) Alan Trammell

17) Kevin Appier
18) Ellis Burks
19) Pat Hentgen
20) Mike Jackson
21) Eric Karros
22) Ray Lankford
23) Shane Reynolds
24) David Segui
25) Robin Ventura
26) Todd Zeile

Of the names mentioned in the Top 16, I think Harold Baines is the most likely candidate from the returnees not to stay on. I think that of the new candidates in the Top 16 (Alomar, Galarraga, Larkin, Martinez, and McGriff), Galarraga is the only one that may not make it another ballot. Candidates 17-26 have no chance to get 5% in my opinion. What does everyone else think and remember you can only vote for 10 candidate if you were actually voting.
