May take a few years with the ballot being crowded but I predict in about 7-8 years, Schilling, Mussina, and Halladay will all be in, paving the way for a new crop of HOF starting pitchers.
I did not realize that no SP that started their career after 1970 has made it into the HOF. That blows my mind.

I really think we are going to have 2-4 players making the HOF each year the next 6-8 years. I can see it playing out like this:
2014 inductees:
Maddux
Glavine
Thomas
Biggio
2015:
Pedro
Big Unit
Smoltz
Piazza
2016:
Griffey
Mussina
2017:
Vlad
Pudge
Schilling
2018:
Chipper
Bagwell
Kent
This doesn't even include the steroid guys. I could see Bonds getting in after Griffey does, which obv opens the doors for Sosa, McGwire, Clemens, Manny, etc.
