    I can only base them on what they've done so far and what I can expect from them for the remainders of their careers; if Mike Trout keeps this up, he'll be a first-ballot HOFer, but putting him on this list would be stupid at this point. Anyway:

    Albert Pujols

    Chipper Jones

    Derek Jeter

    Roy Halladay

    Ichiro Suzuki

    Mariano Rivera

    Miguel Cabrera

    Jim Thome

    Vladimir Guerrero (how many players finish their careers with a .318 BA and 449 home runs? How many retire with a .300 BA and 400 home runs, really?)

    Paul Konerko (HEAR ME OUT. He keeps getting better with age- at this rate, he could very, very well retire with 500+ home runs, 2600+ hits, 1500+ RBI, 4000+ total bases...What if he lasts until 40?! And he's extremely likable.)

    Mariano Rivera

    Ichiro Suzuki

    There hasn't ever been a unmarried situation appropriate to Thome and medicines and his call hasn't ever been on any record so some distance as i recognize. a higher situation would properly be the quantity of years he spent as a DH yet i don't have self assurance which will bypass everywhere. except his numbers, that talk for themselves, Thome became continuously primary for being approachable with the help of the media and followers and continuously treated all and sundry with recognize. I see no reason he ought to not be a first pollinductee.

    Maybe David Ortiz?

    Albert isn't old yet but he's already a shoe-in with the numbers he's put up

    Thome

    Jeter

    Jones

    Haladay

    Sure there is more, but thats all i coming up with. Could go out on a limb and say Trout but that seems premature.
