Note, 1997: (This is again just the list, without the analysis and explanation.) Clemens and Sandberg moved up to shoo-in status in 1992, and Tony Gwynn became a near-definite, while Strawberry and Canseco dropped from superstardom. Paul Molitor was still very iffy. Somehow, strange names like Steve Sax and Howard Johnson appeared on the Borderline list.
