i disagree with FK on 4 guys, strangely i've always considered myself a "strict" guy with putting people in the hall but i'd put in these 4 guys that he'd keep out: Tim Raines - No YES - its a joke to leave out a guy with a .385 obp and 808 steals (and an 84% success rate) he would be a legend if his career didn't coincide with rickey henderson's. Jim Rice - No YES Edgar Martinez - No YES Jeff Bagwell - No YES a few more active guys who i think may one day make it (based on current stats with no speculation on their futures): FIRST BALLOT: Greg Maddux, Tom Glavine, Roger Clemens, Trevor Hoffman, Randy Johnson, Manny Ramirez, Ken Griffey jr., SUBSEQUENT BALLOTS: Curt Schilling, Jim Thome, Jeff Kent, Sammy Sosa, CLOSE, BUT NO: Chipper Jones, Gary Sheffield, Carlos Delgado, Billy Wagner, Jason Giambi, Kenny Lofton, Mike Mussina* *he belongs in but will be the neglected Blyleven of his generation.
