Current MLB players who are first ballot HoF

I know HoF can be a little picky on who they let in on the first ballot, but who are some current players that you believe could make the cut:
1. Jeter
2. Pujols
3. Ichiro
4. M. Rivera
5. C. Jones
I think both Alex Rodriguez and Ivan Rodriguez should be 1st ballot but steroids will hang over them. Chipper may be borderline but I still think he gets in on first ballot.
Players such a R. Halladay/King Felix possibly could as well as many other younger players. Just thinking of current players who we know are first ballot.

C. Jones is not a 1st ballot HOF if he retired tomorrow.

I think ARod goes first ballot, no question.
Thome... will be close, but he's not really lumped into the steroid groups and he'll finish with 600 HRs. Seems like the type of guy hall voters would LOVE to put in just based on "doing it the right way."

By what standard?
He's the 2nd best switch hitter in baseball history.

Thome
As far as Chipper, I think he can be a borderline 1st ballot. I think he gets in because of how he was great with the media.
He should finish with 450 home runs (assuming he hits 12 more this year) over a .300 Average, over a .400 obp, and over a .500 slugging percentage. His career OPS is .940 and has a +142 OPS.

Roy Halladay should be close!

Chipper will be a first ballot guy. Pretty much a lock. It doesn't hurt that, for whatever reason, you don't hear the type of steroid talk with him that you did with other guys.

chipper will be first ballot IMO
younger players that i think will be, Heyward, Posey, Mauer, Lincecum, utley (maybe?)

Huge if on that one. Depends on how he holds up.

very true. i would say ryan howard too, but his average is just too low to be a first ballot IMO
