Perhaps. I don't think ignoring the PED guys is the right answer. I mean, how long can a hall of fame without the all-time HR leader (single season and career), a top-5 all time pitcher, and other greats of the 1980's-2000's remain relevant?
That being said, I think leaving them off ballots for a few cycles is a good start. There's plenty of less controversial candidates to consider.
