I think the old-timers committee will eventually vote in guys like Bonds, ARod, McGwire, Clemens, & Ramirez. No matter what they did they are still a big part of baseball history. It seems silly to punish the fans who could care less about what these players did off the field. Ditto for Pete Rose. Although it may take a while longer for him.

I think you're right about the rest, though McGwire might be on the outs if they view him as a one dimensional player.“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.”

How good a prospect is Dunn? (#20 on BA's Reds mid-season list and (#22 on MLB's so apparently kinda fringy. But his stock may be headed up.

The following players have joined the minor league list:
Shay Whitcomb (HOU) - SS - 35 HR, 20 SB
Jose Rodriguez (CHW) - OF - 20 HR, 30SB
Jordan Beck (COL) - OF - 25 HR, 20 SB
AJ Vukovich (ARI) - 3B/OF - 24 HR, 20 SB
Carson Williams (TB) - SS - 23 HR, 20 SB
Jeremiah Jackson (NYM) - SS - 22 HR, 27 SB
Kam Misner (TB) - OF - 21 HR, 20 SB
Matt Gorski (PIT) - OF - 20 HR, 21 SB
Of these, Beck and Williams are particularly noteworthy.
Yeah, it might be a record year for 20/20 players, at least in the minors.

Only four players have done it so far: Bonds, Canseco, ARod, and Soriano.“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.”
