Besides he Coors field thing, I just feel like Helton has flown below the radar for much of his career. It seemed like he never got the recognition he deserved and when it comes time for the Hall I think all that lack of press/spotlight might end up hurting him.

For Vlad, although he has had some great season. I just don't think he ever reached that level that everyone thought he was destined for. I know thats unfair, but unfortunately it might come into play come voting time.

Sheff is a guy that's on the fence and from what I remember he wasn't the most popular guy with the media either. That and the allegations might hurt him, but I do think he will eventually end up in.

You make valid points about Thome. He did also play in hitter's parks, but I really think his HR's will carry him in.

That is complete bs. Your exposure to a player is directly linked to where he plays and you live.

If Vlad didnt reach that level, what exactly would that level need to be? His closest comparisons are Willie, Freaky and the Duke!

Vlad Guerrero was twice the baseball player that Jim Thome was. He shouldnt be unfairly judged because he was unfortunately drafted by Montreal.
