With all due respect, I don't consider Sosa a Sham. He is however; a future Hall of Fame member. Granted he is currently struggling and may continue to do so. There are plenty HOF'ers in Cooperstown, that had an off year. Dusty should spend more time with him in the cage (moving him closer to the plate) and the thought of dropping him down would likely go away.

That reminds me, I recently saw a clip of Barry Bonds hitting a home run in the 1992 NLCS against Atlanta, I swear his body was about the same proportion as Kenny Lofton.
Unreal the way his physique has changed.

Good example of how people treat a guy that, for the most part - people like. The guy is a known cheat (corked bat, his roid rage freak out on the SI reporter, his "no habla" routine in front of the hearings).
Yet, generally people like Sammy. He's good in the community, usually very approachable by fans and media and does a lot of charity work back home.
Barry could use PR lessons from this guy.

WAS trying to find if there was a Hall of Fame related thread to SAMMY, (none that I could specifically find). There will be some debate at such a time as there is with MAC. Ultimately I think the comeback helps him and in TIME he gets the NOD in. All players had played with these set of conditions and his numbers speak for themself.
