No Cancers in my HoF
I believe guys like Jeff Kent and T.O have questionable character but will be elected to their respective Hall of Fames. Using character as a yard stick is a slippery slope.
Mark McGwire looks like he's doomed.
Roger Clemens is tarnished but he gets in.
Barry Bonds, more than tarnished, but probably gets in.
Pete Rose seems to have little chance in his lifetime.
I guess the only way to treat a lot of these types is to allow them in, but be sure to keep one hand free for holding your nose.
