If I Voted: Hall of Fame 2013

UPDATE: This post never published due to a glitch, I found it and hope you still enjoy
I voted for 10 guys, which is the max.  I took the steroids out of the equation and looked at the player and how he did without steroids.  Bonds would’ve been in the Hall of Fame even without the steroids.  So here is the ballot…
Close but no cigar: Bernie Williams, Lee Smith, Larry Walker, Sammy Sosa, Mark McGwire,Dale Murphy, Don Mattingly
Not a Shot: Rafael Palmerio, Kenny Lofton, David Wells, Steve Finley, Julio Franco,Shawn Green, Reggie Saunders, Woody Williams, Jeff Cirillo, Rondell White, Jeff Conine and the others
TIM RAINES: He earns my vote as a good speedster and hitter and one of the best players of the 80s
CURT SCHILLING: His regular season numbers are good enough but his postseason heroics for the Diamondbacks and Red Sox  was just amazing and his stats may not be the best ever, but they’re hall of fame numbers
JEFF BAGWELL: One of the most feared sluggers.  He had a great career and his power game was one of the best in MLB history
ALAN TRAMMELL: Shortstops that are this great only come once and a while, and when you compare him to guys like Cal Ripken and you’ve seen his highlights and stats, you’d be sold on him.
JACK MORRIS: His ERA was high and wins are overrated, I agree, but Morris won a World Series everywhere he went, and he was the ace almost all th time and he was one of the best pitchers, if not the best of the 80s, I’d let the ERA slide
CRAIG BIGGIO: Most likely to get in and rightly so, deserves it and has the magic 3,000 hits
EDGAR MARTINEZ: The DH is a position and Martinez is the best DH in MLB history and an extraordinary hitter.  The best player ever at every other position is in the Hall of Fame, Martinez should be too
FRED MCGRIFF: He just missed 500 homers, just by a small amount and he was another one of the best power hitters ever.  He was a great number four hitter for many great teams also
ROGER CLEMENS: He would’ve been great without the steroids and his rocket arm will forever live in MLB history
BARRY BONDS: Hall Of Famer, steroids or no steroids.  Hands down.
