Bagwell gets in. Seems to me he was either IN or he wasn't, depending on how they perceive the roids issue. These writers have zero consistency so taking him a few years is just weird, but part of their usual shit-show.
Pudge gets in. Greatest catcher of all time and he is in another category over Bench and Piazza, IMO. He's another one "linked" to roids but I always assumed he was getting in.
Tim Raines gets in. Very happy about this one. He was such a great leadoff hitter and fun to watch, but somehow his stats didn't seem to match up to what we view as HOF worthy. Happy to see him make it.
I think all 3 deserve it. Still do wish we had some clarity on why Piazza can get in but admitting using andro, why Sosa, McGwire, Bonds, Clemens, Palmiero never will, how they perceive Bagwell's PED use implications vs the others, etc. It remains so inconsistent but all of us already know that.

Pudge lost so much weight after the roids scandal that he looked like a little boy in a man's uniform.
I like him a lot and wish he gets in. But the writers are going to make it hard for him..

I was actually quite surprised that Pudge got in. Not that he wasn't deserving. I would say that Pudge is the best Defensive catcher of all time. Man, what a cannon he had. I still think I would go Bench over him though.

I still think I would go Bench over him though. I was 100% wrong. Went back and looked at the numbers, and its not even close. Pudge is the greatest catcher alive. Totally forgot how long he played too.
