Yeah, I saw that after making the post. He's actually not eligible for the writers' ballot because it's been over 15 years since he retired, so he goes straight to the Eras Committee people, as do all the other people that are now eligible.

Paywalled, but a really excellent article. Seems like Javy is extremely respected in the locker room and was even when he was playing terrible.
As a couple people have pointed out, this doesn't mean he automatically gets in. The same writers who keep the steroid guys out may well decide to keep these guys out.
I resolved not to complain about Turner for a couple days after last night's clutch hit, so I'll just say it's a shame that someone else couldn't have hit that ball so they could beat the play to first
The absolute worst. And this is 2 years in a row of being stuck with one.
I can only hope Jed will pull the rip cord on this one faster than he did with Neris
