Goldschmidt -- HOF chances?

[packs]

I think Votto has the best chance of all three (unless Goldschmidt grinds out a triple crown). But I wouldn't be surprised if he ended up in Keith Hernandez-like purgatory.

Part of Hernandez' purgatory is drug issues, no?

Oh, really? I honestly don't know I just know he ran out his time on the ballot but has always been a point of contention.

I would think like Parker it hurt his chances but I don't know.

Honestly, I believe all of them will get in. Votto will get in after a couple years on the ballot. Helton will get in sooner rather than later on the veteran's committee, and I actually think there is enough of a push to get Hernandez in by committee as well. Maybe I'm wrong, but if I were forced to wager, it would be that within 10 years, all three of them will be in.
