Yeah clearly the HoF goes with last game played not when you officially retire (so long as you don't play).
I do think they are waiting for Chase, and/or still deciding whether to retire the three numbers. And while Burrell (a near lifelong Phillie) and Charlie and Gillick and Halladay are already on, they probably want to do the Big 3 before considering Chooch and Victorino. Werth may be more of a longshot since he's already done it with the Nats.
If none of these things were considerations I would think you just do Lidge first. There was also that one year where Jamie Moyer was on the ballot and then he never was again. I don't know if he fell out with the team once the broadcasting didn't work out or if it was all this other stuff.
And what about Brett Myers?
