Yup. I picked nine.

[AngelsFaninGA]

Aubrey Huff

Jeff Kent

Rich Garces

Burt Hilling, I heard he had a pretty good career and was a man of exceptional character

[AngelsLakersFan]

I went with 5.... I'm a small hall kinda guy I guess...

[Fish Oil]

I only voted for Bonds. If he doesn't deserve the Hall, no one does.

I think I only picked about 7. Maybe I need to see the stats of some of the others.

[Torridd]

Kent

Bonds

Clemens

Schilling

 

[T.G.]

Aramis Ramirez is the coolest name of the bunch.

That's why I didn't vote for anyone.

I just feel there are many HOFers with shaded pasts: spitballers/cheaters, racists, etc. Why not steroids? I feel many took advantage of it and very little players really made an HOF mark.

Schilling 

Visquel

Rolen 

Helton 

Wagner 

Jones 

Sheffield 

Mark Buehrle because he made games more enjoyable by not taking forever to pitch.

I don't think any cheaters belong in the HOF. 

[m0nkey]

Schilling, Clemens, Bonds, Rolen, Manny, and Andruw Jones.

Can see an argument for Wagner, Sheffield, Helton, Sosa, and Kent

But some are already in.

Of course, but that doesn't change my value system.

[T.G.]

I didn't vote for any of the players on the list.  I'd have to really take a close look at their careers to decide and I'm just not that interested.

 

[AngelsLakersFan]

No wonder Curt Schilling didn't want to participate.

[mtangelsfan]

I only picked two

[beatlesrule]

Bonds and Clemens were HOFers before the steroids. If they never took any, they would have been in first or 2nd ballot.

Unfortunately for them, it doesn't work that way. 

Idiots.

I was thinking the same.  Of course it's on them.

 

I'm assuming Helton is because of the park he played in.  Or is there other factors?  

[ten ocho recon scout]

Ive always kind of shrugged my shoulders at the steroid thing. Figured everyone was doing it... and guys in the past were using amphetamines, spitballs, blah blah blah

 

I still more or less think that way. Buuuut...

 

Last few days ive been binging on some youtube channel called baseball doesnt exist, or something like that. A few of the vids went in depth about guys like arod, canseco, etc. And what their numbers were before and after juicing. Pretty eye opening. 

I didnt realize arod was using since high school.... thinking about that, you really have to wonder what they really would have been. At bare minimum, they wouldnt be legends

I agree that guys like bonds were likely in before they used. But maybe thats more of a rare occurrence than the rule. And its hard not to judge them against guys like aaron, when the roid generation closes in on them.

[Mark68]

I picked three and only three.

 

Vizquel, Helton, Hunter
