Palmeiro - if we knew he never did steroids - doesn't belong in the Hall? Not sure how you come to that conclusion.
Lets forget about steroids for the time being. Palmeiro was a good player for a long time. He was never a great player. he was never the top player at his position during his career. I doubt he was ever one of the top 5 players at any position. Very good but not a HoFamer
Wylie - am I missing something here?
Lets say he didn't do PEDs. Just look at his numbers.
569 HRs (13th)
1800 RBIs (16th)
1600 Runs (32nd)
1300 BBs. In fact, more BBs than Ks.(33rd)
.885 OPS
3 GGs
Sure, he didn't have any magical years, but he was a consistent top run producer. If he had started playing 10 years earlier, he'd be first ballot.
