And this also depends who is eligible for the ballot at the time of voting. If there are others who are more deserving it will go to them.

The hall of fame is voted on by sports writers. They will certainly vote him in.

His own peers say he's overrated.

Yea you are right he got voted the most overated by other players. #3 was Arod.

A-Rod is the best player baseball has ever seen. The only thing he hasn't done is won a championship.

He may be a douchebag, which I think he is, but his baseball talent cannot go unnoticed. He will be the HR king soon enough.

Based on his stats he compares very favorably to Trammell and Larkin. Not exactly first ballot guys, but his career isn't over.

No doubt about it, first ballot HOFer. And I don't like the yankees.

I hope Fat Albert eventually passes Arod.

After 7 full seasons, he's only 18 hr behind Arod's pace.

Yes.

I just having a feeling Pujols won't stay healthy enough. Everyone thought Griffey would break it. Pujols the last few years has had some nagging injuries. A-rod has been durable.

Yes I agree. Hopefully he can remain healthy enough to play at the level he has for at least 5-7 more years. He's only 28 now.

I hate to see Arod atop the all-time HR list, but anyone is better then Bonds.

Another guy who has a chance is Miguel Cabrera. He only has 35 fewer home runs then a-rod did at 25.

Lets look at the credentials:

He's got 4 rings

He's got a lifetime average of .316

He will most likely retire with over 3,000 hits

He was rookie of the year

He has 3 gold gloves

He has 1 WS MVP

He's a 9-time all star

He's the captain of the most storied franchise in the history of sports

He's a lock for first ballot..

^Word.......He has yet to miss the playoffs in his career in the majors as well.

i definitely think he is over rated. No doubt he is a very good player, stats can back it up, but he played for the Yankees. I think that they as a team make each player better, much like the patriots do for their players.
He will be probably a first ballot, or second ballot choice, but I think they should let him sweat a little longer..

LOL at someone comparing the Yankee's and Patriot's franchises, and I despise both.
