Is there someone associated with them that you're actually convinced is innocent? Surely not Bonds and/or Clemens. I'll assume you aren't talking about McGwire and/or Palmeiro.
That leaves a couple of obvious candidates I guess: Piazza & Bagwell.
Nate Silver
has quantified that possibility based on the ballots that were made public. This chart illustrates the conclusion
But to be honest, I can understand the doubts that (seem to) exist for a fair number of voters. Both guys are right on the edge in my mind (indeed my own vote here had one in, one out). I'm not nearly as upset by their absence as I would be the inclusion of several of the others.
