Joe Saunders never made 100 Wins.  He never threw 1,000 Strikeouts.  He did not make a double digit bWAR.  He will not make the ballot.

While Jason Giambi is better known for being an inflated PED user, the fact remains that he was a very good hitter who was a former American League MVP.  Giambi would go to five consecutive All-Star Games, blasted 440 Home Runs with a .516 career Slugging Percentage over a twenty-year career.  He would also show solid plate discipline with three On Base Percentage Titles and retired with a very good 50.4 bWAR.

There is a good chance that Jason Bartlett will not make the ballot, as he is well under 1,000 Hits for his career.  Still, he is a former one time All Star who had decent defensive skills, which brought him to a 18.4 bWAR.
