I would vote for the following

Bonds
Clemens
Jeter
Schilling

 

[kalinecountry]

If I had a vote, I would not vote for any PED/Steroid cheaters.

Jeter gets my vote.

 

[byco42]

Bonds, Clemens, Jeter, and Schilling. What Dalton said.

 

[tinselwolverine]

I for sure would never vote for Bobby Abreu.

Because the Angels benched him on the last game of the regular season to play a “cup of coffee” guy against Texas, Texas won that game and got the better overall record in the American League and hosted the Tigers, as opposed to the Tigers hosting Texas.

If it wasn’t for Bobby Abreu sitting out that game, the Tigers probably would’ve won the World Series that year. I guess the year was 2011.

Same thing with Torii Hunter, Texas also didn’t play Hunter that night which is another reason the Tigers didn’t win the World Series that year. So I would never vote for Torii Hunter either.

Same 4 plus Manny

On Mindy McCready, and why PEDs aren?t why Roger Clemens belongs outside the Hall of Fame.
Sometimes, the character clause should matter. This is one of those times.

You cheat you pay the price.

 

[tomdalton22]

You GET CAUGHT OR SUSPECTED OF CHEATING you pay the price.

I would bet you any amount of money that there are already PED users and other players that have cheated in the HOF

Probably. As I learned as a child 2 wrongs don't make a right :nod:

Here?s some thoughts on how to fix the Veterans? Committee process.
It is probably best to abolish it, but short of that, it needs a major overhaul.

Todd Helton deserves more Hall of Fame consideration.
In his career, he was overshadowed. Now, he?s being overlooked.

[Mitchrapp]

Right or wrong I suspect he takes a hit because he played in Colorado & playing 1B. His walk to K ratio is stout.

End of the day he was good on the road but still near a 200 OPS difference at home. OPS+ 133 overall. Not sure where that ranks with other 1B HOF.

 

[Rebbiv]

Just to compare other 1B Stats with Stormin' Normin:


T. Helton 61.2 WAR 53.9 JAWS 1401 R 369 HR 1406 RBI .953 OPS 133 OPS+

K. Hernandez 60.4 WAR 50.8 JAWS 1124 R 162 HR 1071 RBI .821 OPS 128 OPS+

J. Olerud 58.2 WAR 48.6 JAWS 1139 R 255 R 1230 RBI .863 OPS 129 OPS+

N. Cash 52.0 WAR 42.9 JAWS 1045 R 377 HR 1104 RBI .862 OPS 139 OPS+


D. Mattingly 42.4 WAR 39.1 JAWS 1007 R 222 HR 1099 RBI .830 OPS 127 OPS+

S. Garvey 38.1 WAR 33.4 JAWS 1143 R 272 HR 1308 RBI .775 OPS 117 OPS+
