My stance on this issue is almost like I don't know how to call it. It's such a shady area and I just keep asking myself more questions and raising more points every time this comes up

If we're all in agreement that steroids is a form of cheating, well then, what about Pete Rose, Joe Jackson etc... ? These guys were kicked out of baseball for "cheating" If these guys are not going to be elected to the Hall, then why should the steroid users?

But then I ask myself well how many players are going to come out that have used steroids? How many more names will there be. Is this whole era tainted? We'll probably never know the complete list of names though.

Then there's the issue of players that are kind of borderline HOF's. Ken Griffey Jr, Jim Thome to name a couple. These two have not been linked to steroids....yet.....does this raise thier HOF bids even more?

All I can tell you is that I am curious to see how the class of 2013 will pan out
