assuming he doesn't. Not a PED user, just guilt by association. And he has the exact same numbers as Frank Thomas (who is in), but wasn't a DH most of his career like the Big Hurt was. Fine hitter, great baseball sense, and one of the best first basemen of all time.

I agree on the prediction of the two inductees, although I think Bagwell will make it three inductees this year.

So, it was only the two. I'm ok with them, but i agree Bagwell should have been picked too.

Also, i was disappointed at how little support Wakefield got. 200 wins and 200 saves. But, everyone hates the knuckleball, so he's never getting in.

He came up really big for the Red Sox on multiple occasions. That one home run did him in.
