what current players do you think will be HOFers?

HGM, I pretty much agree with you, but I gotta add in Edgar Martinez.

If you are going to put in Albert Pujols, then you must put in Ichiro. They both started the same year.

I'd put Edgar in my "should be, but doubt it" category.

Ichiro was a lot older, but I'll put him in the "I say they should be, not positive they will" category.

HGM's list is pretty succinct.

I like it.

I agree that Edgar and Ichiro sghould go in. What about Hideo Nomo? He was sort of the pioneer for Japanese players coming to America, and has greatly influenced the game

No. It wasn't a huge, groundbreaking move in the same vein as like say, Jackie Robinson, and he's nowhere near the HOF level based on performance, whereas a guy like Robinson was.

A-Rod's got a shot, Rivera and Jeter, if those scumbags make the hall of fame, I won't ever watch another baseball game as long as I live.
