Exactly.

Baseball writers are the biggest group of self-righteous dweebs in all of media (quite an accomplishment). We live in a world where guys like Barry Bonds and Alex Rodriguez aren’t in while bums like CC Sabathia and Billy Wagner are.

Get over yourselves. You ALL knew steroids were rampant and didn’t say a thing to “protect the sanctity” of the game until Jose Canseco wrote a book

Wagner easily is near top of list of guys who don’t belong in that HOF by standards set already.

As someone who hasnt watched or know about history of baseball

Which players from the steroid eras deserve to be in?

I think no brainers are Barry bonds, Alex Rodriguez, Roger Clemons, manny Ramirez, Sammy Sosa

Who am I missing?

Nailed it. You don’t get the instant payday in baseball. It requires more patience than the other sports.

Wagner was great, but I don’t see him as a HoFer. He never had that big postseason moment. His numbers are borderline. If he gets in, then Kimbrel and Jansen are gonna be in, and you have to look at KRod.

Hell, Wagner could have played longer. He could still bring it when he walked away.

Relative to the greats of all time he is. Like The Boat said, if it takes you TEN ballots to get in your aren’t a HOFer. Very good player? Sure. HOFer? No

The only way Krod and his multiple domestic violence arrests gets in is by committee a looong time after he’s dead (he was electric though)
