I don't think it's going to happen as long as there's the potential for Rose to screw things up again. I think he eventually goes into the Hall in one of two ways:

1) He could make a deal right now - he informally agrees not to manage or take a job in baseball, and he is taken off the ineligible list and can go in the Hall. This is the best possible solution for baseball IMO - Rose won't be in a position to screw up again, and can get in the HOF where he belongs.

2) When he is deceased or too old to manage/work in baseball, they will remove him from the list and allow him in. This is another good option, although obviously it involves a long wait.

I think Rose definitely will be in the Hall eventually, but he is rightfully excluded for as long as he's banned. I just hope he gets his life together at some point and stops with the compulsive gambling.
