Of the 10 players named on my current ballot, six are under the cloud of performance-enhancing drug use during the course of their stellar Major League careers: Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens, Andy Pettitte, Manny Ramirez, Sammy Sosa and Gary Sheffield.

But the Grandal signing was a turning point for me regarding my annual Baseball Writers’ Association of America ballot. While I’ve always voted for Bonds and Clemens, I’ve had reservations about selecting a player who failed a drug test. No longer. He’s shunned by the voters, shunned by MLB, and shunned by the Chicago Cubs for whom he hit 243 homers from 1998-2001, including 60 or more three times, the only player in MLB history to better that mark in three seasons.
Equally, Sheffield had mammoth numbers playing for eight teams in 22 seasons: 509 homers, a slash line of .292/.393/.514 with a .907 OPS and 140 OPS-plus. He’s mentioned briefly in the Mitchell Report, but has long downplayed the allegation.
