Poll: Is Vladimir Guerrero A 1st Ballot HOF'er?

[Hoopography]

('96 Bowman POY)One of my favorite MLB players to watch swing a bat is Vladimir Guerrero. "Big Bad" Vlad certainly has one of the more unique swings in MLB history, but it's also been remarketably effective. With the ALCS going on between Guerrero's Texas Rangers and the New York Yankees, I started wonder whether Vlad is 1st ballot HOF worthy.

Numbers are usually a reliable measure of a players worthiness for the Baseball Hall of Fame. I think Guerrero's numbers really measure up and show just how underrated he's been. Vlad has been one of the best players of the last decade. So my vote is obvious, but what do you think about Guerrero's potential HOF status?

I vote yes. Vlad has always been one of my favorite baseball players, even before he joined the Angels.

I think he'll make it, but on the 1st ballot is like flipping a coin. I don't think he'll make it on his 1st ballot, but he will on #2 or #3.

I don't believe he will, I think he could eventually get in after the first ballot, but his stats dont scream amazing compared to the era he played in

[key2win]

After he gets 500 career home runs in about 2 more years, it almost automatic in most cases.

I have never been a fan of the "Vladdy Daddy", however, I still will vote YES. Based on the .300+ Career BA, as well as the fact that he will conclude his career with over 500 Hum-Dingers & Over 1,500 Rib-Eye Steaks, he's IN in my book. Great Poll Hoopster!

I agree with most. After another year or two, he should have the stats. That .300+ BA% is impressive.
