2004: Joe Carter(n0), Lenny Dykstra(no), Dennis Eckersley(yes), Jimmy Key(no), Dennis Martinez(no), Paul Molitor(maybe), Tom Pagnozz(no)i, Terry Pendleton(no), Juan Samuel(no), Bob Tewksbury(no) A VERY WEAK CLASS
2005: Wade Boggs(1st year lock), Tom Candiotti(no), Chili Davis(no), Jeff King(no), Mark Langston(no), Willie McGee(no), Jeff Montgomery(no), Terry Steinbach(n0)
2006: Will Clark(maybe), Gary Gaetti(no), Orel Hershiser(maybe)
2007: Tony Gwynn, Mark McGwire, Cal Ripken, Jr. (all first year locks)
2) Molitor not a lock?!?!? Look at Molitor's stats, and then compare with Wade Boggs. I can't imagine either of them not being first year locks.
3) I don't believe that either Will Clark or Orel Hershiser have any chance of ever getting into the HOF. If they both hadn't been injured so much, I'm sure they both would have had HOF-worthy careers, but such is life.
4) I hope that all the people you said "no" to don't get in.
5) I wonder if Rickey Henderson and Jose Canseco are finished as well, and are eligible in 2007? Rickey for yes for sure; Jose no, not ever - he goes into the Clark/Hershiser category, even with the home runs. I hope to heck he doesn't make 500; it'd be worse than Don Sutton getting 300 wins and making it in by virtue of that alone (Sutton no differant from John, Blyleven, and Kaat - good, but not great).
