For-Sure HOF:

Derek Jeter
Omar Vizquel
Mariano Rivera
Chipper Jones
Ichiro
Ivan Rodriguez

Possible HOF:
Andy Pettitte
Jim Thome
Alex Rodriguez (only because of steroids)
Manny Ramirez (again, steroids)
Todd Helton
Jamie Moyer

[bouncer]

The one guy I give an outside shot to make the HOF is Adam Dunn. The guy doesn't hit for average but the amount of HR's he has hit. He nearly averages 40 HR's per year. If he can stay healthy he should easily be at 500 HR's in about 5 more seasons.

[Jeter+Arod Fan]

Jeter
Mauer
Moyer
Guerrero (mispelled)
Miguel Cabrera
Chipper
Ichiro
Frank Thomas
Thome
Mariano
Hoffman
Pudge
Vizquel

All I got at the moment.

Manny - maybe

Randy Johnson is a lock but he's not a "current" player so that's why no one named him

Moyer - no way I see him in the HOF but that's my opinion

Current/recently retired players:

John Smoltz - Most likely a 1st Ballot
Griffey Jr. - 1st Ballot for sure (Best chance of the only unanimous "yes" vote ever)
Pujols - 1st Ballot if he continues on his current track - though he can get in as is already.
Randy Johnson - 1st Ballot for sure

Ichiro and Pujols are interesting. Both have been in the game since 2001. In that time span Ichiro has edged Pujols in batting average (with more at bats I might add) by .001 and he has the speed factor. But Pujols has the power numbers, more doubles, and substantially more RBIs than Ichiro. Albert is all but guaranteed to get in anyway but certainly If Ichiro gets in then Albert will for sure. But the thing with Ichiro is this...

...I saw someone say if you just take Ichiro's MLB career into account he's a bubble/maybe. Well that's all that should be taken into account. I don't really think it's fair for Japanese baseball stats to affect the voting for HOF. Otherwise guys like Dick K and Kosuke Fukodome would have really inflated HOF numbers already.

Not really sure if anyone else is been HOF worthy lately. Moyer's a maybe. I'd love to see him get in but he's on the low-end of the Maybe vote.

Manny and A-Rod are both deep in the stigma of steroids so that has definitely hurt their chances. (Though if Bonds gets in through the stigma they will too...and in that case if Bonds gets in Pete Rose should too lol).

Frank Thomas and Jim Thome are both 500 HR members so they should be in eventually. Maybe not first ballots but they'll be in.

Mike Piazza is another recently retired guy who's in for sure.

Hate to join the hype but....Steven Strasburg is on par to be the next Nolan Ryan if he continues as he is for another 15 years or so lol. He'll be in if he keeps it up for the next decade.
