As ever, there will be controversy over the HOF inductees and as always the drug cheats will be at the centre of this. If, say Clemens and Bonds are voted in can you imagine their acceptance speech? I would imagine that some of the existing HOF members would leave the stage. Here is my speculation and am I missing anyone with a reasonable chance?

Barry Bonds PEDs
Roger Clemens PEDs
Derek Jeter Should get 99% of the votes
Larry Walker Canadian eh?
Scott Rolen 50-50 chance
Curt Schilling 50-50 chance
Omar Vizquel 50-50 chance
Gary Sheffield 50-50 chance
Andruw Jones 50-50 chance
Jeff Kent 20-80 chance
Billy Wagner 20-80 chance
Todd Helton 20-80 chance
Manny Ramirez PEDs

Without checking career stats, I'd go with Jeter and Walker.

Bonds and Clemens...NEVER.

A lot of the steroid issue is hypocrisy. The guys like Clemens and Bonds were the best of the users..and the ones who got caught. Some indications are that there were a lot of guys on the juice.

And the fans were cheering their heads off for McGuire and Sammy Sosa, and the Blue Jays got 2 great years out of Clemens. Now many are sanctimonius about it

I say let them in, but have their plaques say they were caught using steroids. I also think Pete Rose should be in with a similar notation on the plaque about betting on baseball. How can the all time hit leader and the all time homer leader not be somewhere in the HOF?

From BBHOF rules:Eligible candidates:
E. Any player on Baseball's ineligible list shall not be an eligible candidate.

I believe that that one covers Rose, but not the juicers.

Jeter will be in, he has been voted for on 100% of public ballots, so far.
Larry Walker is polling at 85% right now, on public ballots, 75% required for admission to the hall.
It is expected that Walker will finish right around 75%, he'll make or miss by 1~3 votes.

No other player is expected to be particularly close.
