Obviously, they are penalized for this IRL. It would be nice if there was an option whether or not to consider character issues when selecting HoF inductees.

I was wondering this myself. I'm tracking the progress of a guy who used to be my starting first baseman. He has borderline HOF potential and put up some very solid years at a relatively young age, but he would have to have everything go perfect for him to even be considered for the HOF. He got injured and struggled pretty mightily for half a season on my team, so I dealt him and brought in an up and comer for first base. He's rebounded though with his new team. He had always been a disliked player because he failed a drug test when he was in high school, so it will be interesting to see if he is HOF caliber.
