My ballot would be:
Barry Bonds
Roger Clemens
Ken Griffey
Tim Raines
Mike Piazza
Lee Smith
Mark McGwire
Sammy Sosa
My opinion of Jeff Kent constantly changes.. His offensive numbers as a second baseman are amazing. But truth of the matter is he was really a first baseman/third basemen playing second. His defense was pretty horrible at second and he really should have been playing first or third. When you put his offensive numbers up against other 1b/3b of the era I don't think they are Hall Of Fame numbers.
I also really think that Larry Walker was a great all around player but I am not sure if he is a Hall Of Famer. On one hand he spent all those years in a hitters park in Colorado, but by the same token he spent so many of his early years in the horrible hitters park that was Olympic Stadium. I was able to watch him finish up his career in St. Louis and although age and injuries had begun to slow him down he was still a pretty amazing player.
