Dola,

Don't forget Rivera when considering active pitchers who are HOF-locks. Here's an interesting question that would go to the 5 active HOF pitchers vs 15 active HOF hitters question: do great pitchers hang around for as much of their decline phase as great hitters do? I would be inclined to say no but that's obviously without any research to back it up. It could be that Bonds/Thomas/Griffey have seen their pitching HOF counterparts retire already. Or, is the hall unbalanced towards hitters as it is now? Maybe there are simply fewer great pitchers than great hitters.
