Current Major Leaguers that are locks for the Hall of Fame
Which current players do you think would definitely be in the Hall if their careers ended today? I'm not going to try to list all, since I would leave some out. But to get the ball rolling, I will start with:
Bonds Griffey Sosa Maddux Clemens Randy Johnson Palmeiro? (550 HR) Frank Thomas? (2000 hits, 400 HR, .300 avg) |

We just had this thread 2 months ago. Here [/ QUOTE ] yeah, but this is always fun to discuss. I think that even at this early stage ARod has to be very close to being a mortal lock for the HoF |

He was a lock when he hit his service time requirements (10 years). |

He always could pull an everyday players steve blass/rick ankiel |

Not Sosa. One good season on steroids with a corked bat doesn't get you in.
