I think Correa is about as untouchable as they come.

Exactly. This whole team has been built around springer and correa
There's going to be baseball this year. I can hardly wait.
Big day for Biggio tomorrow

Big day for Biggio tomorrow
With 33% of the votes known, here are the leaders according to BBTF:
Updated: Jan 6: 7:50 ~ 188 Full Ballots ~ (32.9% of vote ~ based on last year)
98.9 - R. Johnson
97.9 - P. Martinez
87.2 - Smoltz
84.6 - Biggio
76.1 - Piazza
63.3 - Raines
62.8 - Bagwell
Last year, Biggio dropped about 4% from the ballots that BBTF knew to actual totals, so if he trends like last year, he should be around 80%. Piazza will likely drop below 75%.

Bagwell isn't making it nor is piazza. Anyone else think THE HOF should be voted on by players in the hall and former managers? The writers are beyond biased.
Bags is a lot closer than I thought

How long do you want to ignore this user?
Yes, the baseball writers should have 0 input. Hall of famers and former coaches should be the voters, and they can not vote for anyone they played on the same team with or coached.
Bagwell the last few years.
12 56.0%
13 59.6%
14 54.3%
If he can get up to around 60% in a stacked class like this then it gives a little hope. Next year its Griffey Jr & Trevor Hoffman. Billy Wagner, Jim Edmonds, and a few others that don't really stand much of a chance. B****, Raines, and Piazzia should all be very close in 2016.

Biggio will be the first player to wear an Astros cap on their plaque in the HOF. This feels really good.
Way to go Biggio. I'll never forget watching his 3,000 hit, being there the next day at the game, and also being there for his final game. One hell of a player
Biggio
I was there for his 3000th hit as well. The atmosphere at Minute Maid was electric that night!
Biggio gave everything he had from the first day of his career to his last. Well deserved.

Should be this one IMO. Gotta have the sunshine kids on it too.
Or the pine-tar stained helmet.
Congrats Big (Pronounced Bidge)!!

Oh yeah, and of course:
I remember there was a kid on my little league team who made his dad buy pine tar just so he could rub it on his batting helmet

Ditto! Favorite Astros game I've ever been too
Beyond excited. Almost emotional (I know it's gay) Biggio was my childhood Idol. BS he had to wait this long
The first ever game my friends and I drove to ourselves he hit a walk-off home run against the Braves in the dome. I always remember that because it was the first game I went to without parental guidance and it was the first time I remember chanting B-G-O. It probably happened sooner than that but it's the first time I remember doing it.
I think that was 1998.
