I think we did OK. Bagwell and Biggio have faded somewhat. Thomas faded,
before his recent resurgance, but he should have been a lock in 2001
anyway. I'm not sure how much interest Larkin will get, even though he
deserves to be in. Kevin Brown imploded.

I had to laugh at Barry Bonds being 'probably one of the top 10
hitters'. He's probably one of the top 2 now, even though the steroids
suspicion kinda overshadows that. Clemens is top-5 now, and maybe even
still going. Pedro made his 5 years; I hope he manages another 5, but
he's definitely in.

More than. 500 HR, hit early enough to avoid the steroid suspicion; an
MVP award; five tools; a likeable persona and ten straight gold gloves.
The voters love all that stuff. He's a lock.
