Guys who should get elected, based on what they've already done or can reasonably be expected to finish:
Pitchers
Clemens, Glavine, Johnson, Maddux, Martinez, Rivera
Catchers
Piazza, Rodriguez
First Basemen
Bagwell, Thomas
Second Basemen
Biggio, Kent
Shortstops
Jeter
Third Basemen
Rodriguez
Left Fielders
Bonds, Ramirez
Center Fielders
Griffey
Right Fielders
Sheffield
While I think there are probably going to be another half-dozen players nearing the end of their career right now who will belong by the time they've hung it up, these are the "obvious" choices.
I'm curious to see (a) what reasons someone may have for not believing one of these guys is a qualified Hall-of-Famer; and (b) if I've missed someone who's got as solid a case as these candidates.
