It is Hall of Fame debate season again and the debates get better and better every year. Before I get into it I will complain about one thing in the voting process. You should be able to vote for however many players you think are worthy. If you feel 12 or 17 guys should make it that's your choice. If you feel 1 or 2 deserve it that's fine too.
1. Barry Bonds - all around one of the best players ever , was great with and without steroids.
2. Roger Clemens - one of the best pitchers ever , was great with and without steroids.
3. Manny Ramirez - steroids aside , one of the best right handed hitters ever
4. Sammy Sosa - steroids aside , 600+ homers , apart of baseballs great home run race.
5. Vladimir Guerrero - 400+ homers , 318 career average , great defender
6. Edgar Martinez - DH is a position he shouldn't be punished by baseball purists cause he was a DH.
7. Tim Raines - should have been in a while ago , he should and will get the call in his final year
8. Mike Mussina - compare his stats to Hall of Famer Jim Palmer , they are very similar.
9. Ivan Rodriguez - arguably the best defensive catcher ever , had a great bat also
10. Jeff Bagwell - stop holding him out because we think he used PEDs , no proof whatsoever
Others I want to vote for but can't because of ballot size restrictions
Curt Schilling - one of the great postseason pitchers ever , who cares what he tweets
Gary Sheffield - 500+ home runs , gets unfairly overlooked
Trevor Hoffman - second all time in saves at the closer position
Fred McGriff - barely missed 500 homers , stop overlooking him because of it
Lee Smith - all time saves leader when he retired
