Will he be a Hall of Famer?

[Simple Torture]

On first pass, I don't think I'd vote for any of the newly eligible players. Of course I'd vote for all the steroid-era greats.

Two* first-ballot HOFers next year, though.

*But A-Rod's not getting in.

bonds and arod should get in...pete rose should not

I have a lot of love for Nick Swisher. He's not a Hall of Famer, obviously, but I would vote for him all the same

i always give a nod to and appreciate a good switch hitter with some pop in his bat

He's roughly as worthy as Harold Baines.

Also, call me crazy, but I think Pettitte is a fringe candidate. Lack of major awards probably keeps him out but he had a solid career, great postseason career.

Pettitte has HGH on his resume, though

This is true (I forgot about it during my initial post, but remembered in the interim). Still, his name never really gets thrown around--I'd probably vote for him in a down year.

This is a down year if ever I saw it. I bet Bonds and Clemens get in, at least in part because the alternative to voting for them is voting for no one.

Nah, I don't think anyone new gets in this year. They've still got to run an induction ceremony for last year, right? That'll make it not an empty ceremony.

That's a good point. And it will be highlighted by Saint Jeter. They might not want to muck up the holiness of the day with sinners like Bonds & Clemens.
My personal ballot this year would be for Nick Swisher and only Nick Swisher, I think.

This idiot should never be given the opportunity to vote again.

Scott Rolen is an easy yes.
