It will be a crowded ballot for players seeking to be a part of the National Baseball Hall of Fame's 2018 class.
Andruw Jones, Chipper Jones, Hideki Matsui, Jim Thome, Johan Santana and Omar Vizquel are eligible for the first time on the Baseball Writers Association of America ballot released on Monday.
Two returnees will be heavy favorites to earn selection: Trevor Hoffman (74.0 percent of the BBWAA vote in 2017) and Vladimir Guerrero (71.7 percent) narrowly missed the 75-percent threshold last winter.
Also debuting on the ballot this year are Chris Carpenter, Johnny Damon, Livan Hernandez, Orlando Hudson, Aubrey Huff, Jason Isringhausen, Carlos Lee, Brad Lidge, Kevin Millwood, Jamie Moyer, Scott Rolen, Kerry Wood and Carlos Zambrano.
