The 2018 HOF ballot is awash with talent, having 33 total names,19 new entries, and 7 who played for the Atlanta Braves.
Seven? Are you surprised the number is that high? Well it may not matter, for probably only one of those players will get the nod this year… even though 4 to 5 of them deserve serious consideration.
Here is the entire ballot… and BaseballReference.com kindly put together all of these players with their career stat lines (one-time Braves’ players noted with ª):
- Trevor Hoffman
- Vladimir Guerrero
- Edgar Martinez
- Curt Schilling
- Fred McGriff ª
- Garry Sheffield ª
- Billy Wagner ª
- Chipper Jones ª (new entries for 2018 start here)
- Andruw Jones ª
- Carlos Zambrano
- Chris Carpenter
- Livan Hernandez ª
- Orlando Hudson
- Kevin Millwood ª
- Jason Isringhausen
