Chipper Jones YES
I'm kind of torn on Palmeiro and Bagwell (Sosa too). During their prime, I assumed they'd both get in, but in retrospect, I just don't see them as HOF caliber. I guess you can say the same for Sosa, if you take out those 4 monster years he had, but I'm really still trying to accept him back. The biggest problem I have with Sosa is the huge dropoff he had between 2001-04. He literally went from being an elite player to just another slugger. But for 4 straight seasons, he was unbelievable though. I'm really torn, and will be for a long long time.
