Yeah, the conservative part doesn't help but Schilling's post career actions go quite far beyond that. That said, it's not voting on post-career actions so he should be in, and I think he very well could be next year when Derek Jeter is the only 1st year lock. He did gain 9% and jump over Clemens/Bonds, and Mussina's election should only help him too. I don't think Clemens and Bonds will get in until the players/veterans committee, just too many older voters who won't change their mind. Btw, Scott Rolen down at 17.2% seems crazy to me, idk if he gets in but I suspect he'll get up above 50% eventually.
