Ichiro is the only shoe-in.
I suppose CC Sabatthia will make it and Andruw Jones is deserving but everyone else mentioned is borderline for me.
Manny Ramirez and Alex Rodriguez shouldn't even be in the discussion but they let Ortiz in which they never should have.

CC has 3000 K's, a Cy Young and won a World Series as the team's #1 starter, he prob won't get in with like 95% but I'll be floored if he isn't first-ballot

Beltran had more WAR than Dave Parker at 29, then played 11 more years, some of them very good. That’s the standard now, he has to be in.
He was the architect for the Trashtros Scandal, which will cost him votes.

Also Adam Jones got 3 votes, not enough to stay on the ballot but still neat for him

Ichiro missed 100% by one vote. Joke.
There's always got to be that one jerk who feels the need to make a statement by being the dissenting voice.

Sabathia being a 1st ballot guy is laughable.
Agree but this is the HOVG now.

I get people on an Orioles board won't happily praise a Yankee but I don't know how someone with 3000 K's, 250 wins and a Cy Young isn't an obvious HOFer

He isnt a 1st ballot guy. The precedent has been set. Many pitchers who were better didnt sniff 1st ballot induction. It matters to me
