Jim Thome Hall of Famer?

[will2survive]

570 homers--all around good guy---no proven roids


I say yes--after a few trys

[sundin4prez]

100% yes

[str]

Yes

[OmgUrMom]

Yes

[zigomanisinsider]

yea he should make it

[3PtShooter]

yea

[iwant2lrn]

yes

[Naz18]

No, he most likely took 'roids....probably on the list where A-Rod was the only player to be leaked.

[warriorfan707]

Not even a question

[rm18]

Jim Thome did not take steroids, he did not even lift weights, and definitely a HOF

[in2thethickofit]

for sure...Joe is great!

[rm18]

thome should be playing more it is weird

Hall of Famer for sure when he helps the Twins win the World Series
this year in 6 games......

[Bigmikesm]

Yeah, without a doubt.

[Bostongambler]

Thats a lot of Home Runs. I say Yes.

[Chi_archie]

I wanna say yes right away

BUT

the times are changing.... over the next 20 years we will have 50 guys retire with #'s like Thome's....

we have quite a few now, but most are connected with Roids... but we are gonna have a glut of guys with numbers like Delgado, bagwell, Palmiero, Sheffield, Sosa, Arod, Manny, Frank thomas, chipper jones, ect ect.... Not ALL these guys can get in, so it will be interesting to see who has to wait till the vets committee selects them to get in

[seaborneq]

If you had a 50 home run season you are probably linked to Roids in the Roids Era. Thome fits the bill. Name one 50+ home run hitter other than Griffey not linked to Roids. Look at it this way. George Foster 52 homers in the 70's, Cecil Fielder early early 90's, and then all hell breaks loose.

[OverUnder]

Anyone known as a homerun threat during that era that was not accused of steroids is a hall of famer in my book.

[thezbar]

No. The #'s say yes but I don't think he's Hall of Frame material. How many rings does he have?

Well said. Thome is going in without question.

[blueghost]

got him on my rantasy team ..agree he should play more

[sneak-a-peak]

He'll go in as a Indian probably then huh?

[Brock Landers]

yeah

but

He should quit now as he isn't half the player he used to be, king of Strike outs too

[mtneer1212]

I think he will make it

[flyingillini]

I would say yes. They can be tough though getting people in. I wouldn't be shocked if he didn't get in on the first try.
