Summary

Among active players in Major League Baseball, who has the best chance of making it to the Hall of Fame? We'll answer just that but first we deep dive Michael Conforto (6:00). What does Conforto's upside look like? Can he get back to his 2017 form? ... We begin our HoF discussion with the age-old questions, "Should Pete Rose be a Hall of Famer?" and "Should the steroid era be allowed in?" (16:43). ... There's at least a consensus top five among the group. Who are they (21:50)? Mike Trout, Albert Pujols, and Clayton Kershaw all seem like pretty safe bets. ... Next, we get into Chris' Top-10, which includes a few younger players (27:45). Are Juan Soto and Ronald Acuña too far out to project? ... Scott reveals his unanimous Top-11, which includes two catchers (37:32). ... There's a lot of overlap to this point but Frank gives out his final three players on his ballot (43:50). Should closers be in the conversation? Last but not least, we get into an impromptu debate over Nolan Arenado's chances at the Hall of Fame (53:00). ... Email us at fantasybaseball@cbsi.com.
