Will Juan Gonzalez be a future Hall of Famer?

Question

or were most of his accomplishments because of steroids?

He was mentioned in Jose Canseco's books and Jose has been pretty accurate about the player's he mentioned. Juan's career seemed to take a nose-dive in his early 30's. He played in parts of 17 seasons from 1989-2005. His career numbers are, 1,936 hits, 1,061 runs, 388 DB's, 434 HR's, 1,404 RBI's, .295 BA, .561 Slugging %. Juan was a 2 time MVP. He was a dominant player for a decade from 1991-2001 and had 30 + HR's 7 times and 100 + RBI's 8 times. He was a machine for the Rangers in the 90's. I look at him like I view Albert Belle and Mo Vaughn. They were also both dominant in the 90's and then fell off a mountain in the early 2000's, just like Juan did. I say he's good, but not good enough for the Hall, what do you think?

Answer 1

Statistically he's definitely a HOFer. But he is a steroid user so no, he will not be in the Hall, ever.

Answer 2

He'll probably make it in on the last try if there's no one better than him on that ballot.

Answer 3

no

Answer 4

his accomplishments were from steroids... but they r still great numbers so he will be a future hall of famer

Answer 5

I agree good but not good enough. He fell off pretty quick and furiously after his "hey day" years.

Answer 6

Ten years ago he seemed like a lock. However, times have changed. Whether he is guilty of steroid use, nobody but he knows for sure. But his name is linked to steroids, and that's not good for his chances.

Answer 7

No, he should not make it, steroids or otherwise

Answer 8

I do not see him in the Hall of Fame. I will never forget his attempt at a comeback with Cleveland and getting hurt the very first game after he ran to first. It is just incredibly laughable that our GM made Wedge promote him over Grady Sizemore. Gonzalez tried again recently and did not make the bigs. I guess that is what roids will do to your body, eh?  

Answer 9

I seriously doubt it.

Answer 10

Close, but no cigar. His numbers aren't good enough.
