From the link I posted earlier, a prediction that Vizquel will get in (eventually):

• What about Omar Vizquel? The man who played the most games at shortstop and won 11 Gold Gloves could be the anti-PED vote. He debuted at 37% in 2018, received 42.8% last year and is currently polling at 48%. He's the rare player who actually fares just as well on the private ballots. In other words, the older voters like him, while the younger breed of pro-analytics writers are not as much in favor due to a 45.6 career WAR that is low for a modern Hall of Famer. Although Vizquel's election either via the BBWAA or veterans committee is inevitable, I think he has to wait a bit longer.

And I do think it is fine that not all deserving players make it in on the first ballot.  I do hope that Vizquel makes it in eventually, but I’m ok with it not being this year or next.
