What current MLB players are a lock for the HOF?

Featured Replies

At this time based on what they've achieved. IMO here are some that should be.

 

Greg Maddux

Tom Glavine

John Smoltz

Craig Biggio

Barry Bonds-unfortunately

Derek Jeter

Roger Clemens

Trevor Hoffman

Is Hoffman a "lock?" It seems that its much harder to enter the Hall as a reliever regardless of the stats.

Jeter needs a couple more years.

Biggio is on the fringe. I would rate Griffey Jr.'s chances just as good.

Ken Griffey Jr.

Alex Rodriguez

Mariano Rivera

Randy Johnson

I'm assuming the lack of Griffey's name on your list is simply a slip of the mind.

Jeter needs a couple more years.

 

If his last game was tonight, he's a lock.

Jeter needs a couple more years.

Biggio is on the fringe. I would rate Griffey Jr.'s chances just as good.

 

Biggio will have 3,000 hits, probably by the All Star break. He's a lock.

Someone else who has (sometimes) quietly put up some nice lifetime stats is Gary Sheffield.

 

If by some miracle he gets back to the show, Rickey Henderson goes on the list.

Jeter needs NO more years. He has 6 rings I think. A great shortstop and he is an outstanding player when the playoffs hit!

Interesting that your list contains only 2 ALers and one of those being Clemens.

Funny you should mention Ricky. Rumor has it that he will sign with the A's late in the year and immediately re-retire so he can retire with the team he started with.

Hmmm, didn't think about that happening like that, but I'm sure there is more AL players.

Curt Schilling

Manny Ramirez (?? Maybe)

Pedro Martinez

 

On Hoffman....

 

He is going to retire as the runaway all-time saves leader. He may not be first ballot material, but baseball is to stat driven to keep him out.
