So is Jim Thome a lock for the HOF?

553 HR
2000 hits
1500 RBI

He has pretty much flown under the radar his whole career. No MVP's but 5 ASGs

Does anyone doubt him being 1st ballot?

I think he is unless his name is one of the 104.

by the time he's done he'll have over 600hr around 1800 RBI OPS of .965 OBP over .400...easily 1st ballot. Over the last 12 full seasons in his career (1 missed for injury) he's averaged 43 HR and 108 RBI...over 12 seasons!! I didn't realize it until checking this out, but he's possible one of the most underrated players of our time. Those numbers are right there with A-rod and Manny.
