Steroids in Baseball... No Hall For Steroid Ball

Can anybody truly predict how the players of the "steroids era" will be judged when their time comes to be considered for the Hall of Fame?  Chances are, Raffy Palmeiro will not get in.  My guess is neither will Sosa or McGuire.  Bonds is another matter due to how well he played before he inflated into the power hitter he became later in his career. 

It is fun to debate, but I guess we won't know for sure until the time comes.  McGuire has not tested positive, but had Andro at his locker and pleaded the 5th when his feet were put to the fire by Congress.  His tears were used by him to get around the hard questions, but McGuire remains in the minds of many, a fraud.  So does Sammy who doubled in size over his career, then suddenly shrank after the 2004 season with decreased power numbers. 

Raffy?  Well, he tried to throw his teammate Tejada under the bus by saying he may have tested positive for steroids through a Vitamin B12 injection he allegedly received from Tejada.  He later backtracked and claimed it was his wife who game him Vitamin B12 injections.  Whatever the story, both he and McGuire have destroyed all credibility and have likely severely damaged both their cases for Hall of Fame consideration.
