He'll probably get in via committee.

Because he was kinda a douche and the press didn't like him. That's the only reason one could think of because numbers-wise, he should be in no doubt. |

You can argue whether he's really HOF material, but he deserved better than 7.7% of the vote. You can't treat the writers like shit and expect them to fawn over you come election time

Belle did use a corked bat so he's got that on his record. Kent was definitely anti-cheating, very public about how he hates cheaters. |

Exactly. Though you would think that grown men and women could be subjective and not let personal feelings about a player have anything to do with their vote. You'd be wrong, but you would think. |

As a Giants fan, it was super hard to root against one of your own players but I hate Bonds more than any player in history. |

"Despite his prolific offensive resume, Kent has never gotten remotely close to the Hall of Fame, thanks to weak numbers on defense and on the basepaths, resulting in an underwhelming WAR (Wins Above Replacement) of 55.4"

Definitely a HOF, another one that got away from the Mets. From what I understand, he was a douchebag when came to deal with the media during his playing days.

Yep, I've memories of him as a Jay, traded for David Cone in '92. Alomar of course was locked in at 2B, so it was good value. Cone got a hit in the 92 WS to help.
