Lofton retired in 2007.
This particular ballot is for players who retired 15+ years ago and whose prominant years are from 1988 on. (It says all of this in the article.)
As for Rose, Earlier eras' ballots will happen in succeeding years, so I'd assume he'd be on one of those.
Negative. Banned players are also banned from the HOF
