Agreed. There are the "knowns" among the paranoid and the "knowns" among those with agendas.
There is a ton of evidence against Pudge. Canseco himself admitted he injected Pudge. And as much as everybody hates Jose, every thing he claimed on PED's turned out to be correct. Then you add his non committal response to questions about his use. There are other indications as well. Pudge was one of my favorite players. But I wouldn't vote him in.
Bagwell....the "evidence" against him is that his HR totals jumped when he reached the majors. It may have been larger than you'd expect, but aren't you supposed to improve as you advance through the farm? They are accusing him because no one ever did what he had done.That's not evidence. That's skepticism. Bags should have been in Cooperstown a loooong time ago.
