Two guys that I don't think are going to get in, but whose numbers are incredible. Granted it is during the steroid era, but I think a guy like Gonzo who was absolutely dominant in the mid 90's deseves to get in much more than a guy who compiled numbers like Palmeiro.

I mean this is assuming we look the other way on Gonzo's blatant roid use

still no, though i'd give belle a slight edge. neither of them were good enough for long enough.

i doubt it, other than dale murphy, but i'm not really big on having the media awards dictate who i think should be a hof.

Retired:
Tony Gwynn
Rickey Henderson
Sosa

(will get in eventually)

At the end of their career:
Griffey
Bonds
Sheffield
Craig Biggio (2B/CF/C)

Still chugging, but virtual locks:
Manny Ramirez
Chipper Jones (3B/OF)
Andruw Jones
Vladimir Guerrero

I wish Larry Walker had a longer career, he'd be in.

Vlad's gonna be first ballot when its all said and done

may have started a bit too late, but Ichiro's numbers are phenomonal

It amazes me that Belle won't get in while Kirby Puckett does. Just stunning.

Belle's '95 season was off the hook. Mo Vaughn winning MVP that year was the stupidest thing I've ever seen. Ever.

you really think chipper's a lock?

well, Albert might make it into the stalkers HOF.

let's not forget Tim Raines. If he doesn't get in, the HOF is a joke.

Will he go in as Tim or Rock?

Vlad a lock? I'm not sure about this.
