He shouldn’t be in the HOF. Edgar roided. Not a big deal, he just didn’t get caught. It’s a fucking joke Barry Bonds isn’t in the HOF.

Edgar shouldn't be in because he roided (which I don't buy because his stats were always the same starting pre-steroid era), but it's a joke that Bonds isn't in because he roided? Got it.

Edgar's power hitting surged in 1995 at age 32:

He's an obvious juicer

Bonds is an inner circle guy (up there with Ruth as best ever). When Edgar gets elected next year it will be well deserved.

I don't understand how he's avoided steroid speculation though. Edgar roided. Hell, he was an early adopter as far as I can tell.

Buttfuck, everyone else in the 90s and 00s roided too

The best deserve to be in the Hall regardless.

Fuck the stats, dude's body went through a bigger chemical transformation than Bruce Jenner's.

Edgar openly used andro and creatine. The Mark McGwire playbook. Bret Boone also said Edgar was his closest friend on the team. What does anyone think they were doing?

Everyone was juicing and the M’s were right at the top of the list. A-Rod, Edgar, Segui, Boone. I suspect Buhner as well.

Everyone always says Griffey didn’t but who really knows?

I loved Edgar but he doesn't deserve the HOF. He didn't play in the field and his slow speed was a liability.

Neither did David Ortiz, and Edgar's numbers compare somewhat favorable to Ortiz

There is some nonsense in here, but the hard numbers do not lie.

Here is another comparison

Griffey didn't because he was a lazy fuck who hated working out and steroids don't do shit for you if you don't work them.

Griffey's body transformation is the complete opposite of Bonds and Martinez's. They got bigger and sturdier, he got bigger and rounder.
