PHOENIX -- Three players with ties to the D-backs -- right-handers Curt Schilling and Livan Hernandez along with second baseman Orlando Hudson -- are listed on the 2018 Baseball Writers' Association of America ballot which was released on Monday.
A player must receive 75 percent of the vote in order to be enshrined and Schilling has come up short in his previous five years on the ballot.
This will be the first time that Hernandez and Hudson have appeared on the ballot. A player remains on the ballot for 10 years provided that they garner at least 5 percent of the vote, which will likely be hard for Hernandez and Hudson to do.
