    Which hitters do you think should get into the HOF from "The Steroid Era"

    This is similar to a poll on ESPN SportsNation, so I thought it should be included here as well.

    I voted for everyone from Larkin, because they are all the best from their ERA, so they deserve in.

    Bonds has given me enough evidence, but I don't think he should be excluded from the Hall. 50% of Sosa's RBIs are himself, so he's out. Raffy was border line the whole fiasco last year excluded him in my book. Jeter, ARod and Pujols are still too young, althought they're certainly headed in the right direction. Barry Larkin is a tough sell. But if you have to make a strong case, to convince me, I think that excludes him. Its not the hall of Very Good.

    What do you think of Bayless overall? I'm really not to found of him as a general statement. Just curious.

    He has some very good arguments. I like him when he is a substitute host for Jim Rome. I don't like him doing 1st and 10 on Cold Pizza, probably because I can't stand Woody Paige.

    The thing that will hurt Larkin is that he came between Ozzie Smith and ARod. He had a great career and I think he, much like Dave Concepcion should get in.

    Jim Rome. that's another subject. I used to get a kick out of him and listened to his show every day., But as time wore on he gotta kinda old. He's get on a subject and just beat it to death for like fifteen minutes. It was like Ok, swe got it. Anyway I stopped listening to him about year and a half ago.

    Back to Bayless, sometimes I like him and sometimes he just seems totally off the wall. I guess that what good writers do...they get that love/hate thing goin' on and people want to read everything they write.

    Bonds was a three time MVP, 40/40 guy and even if you believe he used roids from 1998-present he still would be a 500/500/500 man. That is HOF material!

    He has to test positive and what not for me to buy the steroids issue. Everything else is circumstantial/heresay. And I hate Bonds. But those walks, oh so pretty walks..
