While Miguel Tejada is a former MVP in Major League Baseball, he is also known as a PED user, a label that has kept PED users out of the Hall of Fame.

Forgetting that, Tejada is a man with a 46.9 bWAR and a multi-time Silver Slugger Award winner, and retired with close to 2,500 Hits. The Dominican has numbers that are very good, but realistically were not Hall of Fame level, regardless of his PED use. Still, this is a former MVP, an accolade that can not be taken away.

Lance Berkman was the third “Killer B” of the Houston Astros, though it was his Comeback Player of the Year season with St. Louis (that also netted him his only World Series Ring) that he might hold most dear. 

Berkman’s overall Hall of Fame candidacy is an interesting one as he is a six-time All-Star, finished in the Top Ten in MVP voting six times, and put up very good power numbers with 366 Home Runs, 1,234 RBIs, and a .934 OPS. His overall numbers, complete with a 52.0 bWAR, are good, but with poor defensive numbers, a relatively low profile amongst most fans, and what is still likely to be a loaded ballot, Berkman will have more trouble than he should to get into Cooperstown.
