--Three no brainer in the newly eligible, with Cronin, Foxx and Waner (Big Poison that, Little is a no brainer in another way) being the top 3 eligible players by a considerable margin. 4 hold overs from my last ballot - borderliners all.

Bidding a fondue, or a fond adieu, to the Crab and two catchers. Competition is fierce, and those guys would appreciate that.
