I agree, especially on the first ballot. I think a lot of the power hitters from the "steroid era" won't make it on at least the first ballot, and maybe a few more. The writers will end up making a statement that way, whether it's right or not.
Sheffield will definitely make the Hall of Fame. 2600 hits, 500 HR - why is this even a question?

Who cares who did - it's a thread relevant to current times.
Yes, it is, i was just wondering. And yes, Sheffield should be a HOFer

Sheffield should be a first ballot HOFer- there is no question about that at all. Legendary player.

I think he definitely deserves to get in.
And on an unrelated note, how many other players have been an All Star for five different teams? The only two that I can find are Sheffield and Moises Alou.
Now run and tell ya mama 'bout that!
They're probably the only ones...although, all I did was just do a quick look through the guys with the most ASG appearances on Baseball-Ref, which only shows guys with 8 or more.
I think Sheffield is a Craftsman-quality tool and I wouldn't vote for him. One does wonder though what hat he would wear if he did get in. Hasn't he pretty much worn out his welcome everywhere he's been?
I think it will depend on if the HOF voters look at his off field problems or not. On just numbers I think he deserves it but as a human being he doesn't.
