I think there are more young, exciting players now than since the early 90's.


That's not saying much though. There hasn't been a strong crop of exciting young players since the mid '90s with A-Rod, Jeter, Pedro Martinez, Vladimir Guerrero, Manny Ramirez, Chipper Jones, and others. Let me ask you a question. How many pitchers that were born in the '70s are future HOF pitchers? The only ones that I would put in the Hall right now are Pedro Martinez and Roy Halladay. And there has only been a handful of truly great HOF-caliber position players since the A-Rod generation. There's Albert Pujols, Miguel Cabrera, Joe Mauer, Ichiro Suzuki, and that's pretty much it.
