But the writers will probably continue to refuse voting for anybody they even remotely think might have cheated. Even guys like Bagwell and Piazza who have never been officially implicated aside from like one rogue writer accusing them of doing it for no reason other than they hit a lot of HR in the steroid era. Leaving out known roiders like McGwire is one thing, but I guarantee at least one clean guy who is clearly HOF worthy will be left out unjustly.
I dont think its hurt anyone that hasnt popped.

Frank Thomas is going to WALTZ into the Hall this year. Not one person will hold him back.

I think the only clean guys not making wont be because of doubt, but numbers.

Fred McGriff belongs in the Hall, but because of Juicers skewing numbers in his era he falls short.
