Yeah, its hard to believe that someone could be as unpopular as Barry Bonds, but Kent game him a run for his money in the disliked department.
Agreed that Kent's not getting in does not have to do w/ roids.

Whitaker and Grich are pretty a much a tie in my book.
So are Berkman and Belle. I give the nod to Berkman because they both had OPS+ of 144, but Berkman had slightly more longevity (Berkman had over 1,000 more plate appearances) and was less of a liability in the field. Both were solid in the playoffs.
