The 2012 Hall of Fame ballot was announced today, and is comprised of mostly "B"-list players. Only Bill Mueller has any substantial ties to the Red Sox—and while he's one of our favorite all-time Carmine Hose, he's no Hall of Famer. The likely effect of this weak class is that Barry Larkin and Jack Morris (both of whom missed last year, but got over the 50% vote threshold) may be the the two inductees next year.
