Joining Bagwell on the ballot this year is follow former Astros closer Billy Wagner. Wagner spent nine years with the Astros, posting a 26-29 record with a 2.53 ERA, 694 strikeouts and 225 saves in 504 1/3 innings.

At the moment (as of 1:30 PM CT), Ryan Thibodaux's Hall of Fame ballot Tracker lists Bagwell at 77.6 percent and Wagner at 9.5 percent with 44.7 percent of the votes counted.
