Default 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)

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

"Very close"? He's in already. He was a lock when he hit his service time requirements (10 years).

since he has just cracked 400 I would say yes, but barring a complete and total collapse of form by him yes he's in. 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.
