You're right. I just hate how if a player doesnt make it in for his fielding credentials at a certain position, he makes it in because his stats trump the people who played that same position [reviously. This prolly makes bno sense, but Im half shot in the a$$.

I believe guys like Jeff Kent and T.O have questionable character but will be elected to their respective Hall of Fames. Using character as a yard stick is a slippery slope.

Mark McGwire looks like he's doomed.

Roger Clemens is tarnished but he gets in.

Barry Bonds, more than tarnished, but probably gets in.

Pete Rose seems to have little chance in his lifetime.

I guess the only way to treat a lot of these types is to allow them in, but be sure to keep one hand free for holding your nose.
