It won't let me vote as I would vote.


You did not select an option to vote for. Please press back to return to the poll and choose an option before voting.

Three guys I can't vote for because of the PED situation, six not worthy enough for inclusion in my opinion, and one I've never heard of. Of the list, If I were to vote for one it would be Sheffield.

I don't see any options to edit the poll. Sheffield admitted to using PED's thru BALCO. Which player have you not heard of?

Then make it four I can't vote for because of PEDs, five not worthy enough, and that guy named after a cologne at the bottom of the list.

Bonds and Clemens ....

Both great players and would’ve made the Hall of Fame without cheating, but they cheated so no thanks

Andrew Jones was the best defensive centerfielder of all time, Big power bat but slumped to early

Not sure what his cheating status was

He was consistent with 7 years over 100 RBI, 386 HR and a .383 average. It's his first year, and he looked like one of the best 2 with Hunter.

All borderline thoughI had to look up Scott Rolen, honest to God, I didn't have a clue who he was. I thought about Wagner but I am not a fan of relief pitchers, I am too freaking old school.

Roland was no Brooks Robinson with a glove and no Mike Schmidt with the bat, Pretty good player but he should not be in the Hall of Fame

Rafeal Palmiero has the numbers for the Hall of Fame,
But he was a steroid guy and lied about it to Congress

My vote goes to Andruw Jones simply because he was the best defensive centerfielder of all time

Glavine Smoltz Maddox will agree

I had to add Torii as if that ball was hit to CF and not crushed, it was an automatic out. Guy had speed not seen before.

Sheffield I'd have to believe is an autolock.

I figure, eventually the PED users will get into the Hall of Fame. Their roid numbers do make players that had decent numbers during that time, and were not on steroids, look not so decent in comparison, and are over-looked because of that.

It's the Hall of Fame, not the Hall of Decent. It's not even supposed to be the Hall of Very Good, but the list of last year's top non-PED vote getters certainly seems like a list of very good (not all-time great) players, at best.

I voted for Schilling and Vizquel.

IMO the HOF needs to include PED's to the hall profiles of anyone linked to them. In that case Bonds, Clemens, and Sheffield would also get my vote and would probably be shoo-ins.

I suspect a few PED users are already in the Hall, like maybe Piazza and Ivan Rodriguez.

Meanwhile...

Do you think those players will wait for the Modern Era Committee before they have a chance to be enshrined? xchinscratchx

Bonds and Clemens have this year and next, to be elected by the media. After that, it's up to the MEC, which is pretty much former players.

"The thing is, do you put these guys in, or do you put an asterisk beside their names and say, 'Hey, they did it, but here's why?'" Aaron told several reporters in Cooperstown. "To be safe, that's the only way I see that you can do it."

Did I read the crawl line correctly that no one will be going into the Hall this year? First time since 2013.

Bonds and Clemens belong in the Hall. This isn't hard. You cannot write the story of baseball without either of them.

There was a story on posted to espn.com about it yesterday evening, so I believe that IS what you saw on the crawl.

I had limited myself to one glass of chocolate milk so I didn't think I was impaired but some is more potent than others.
