Don't forget that Juan was a complete jerk about playing in the All Star game when he would not go. That will also come back to bite him. At this stage it is a popularity contest where you get graded not on what you did but how you did it. The stats are only useful with 500 HR unless you are Barry Bonds and use steroids and come off like a complete jerk. Personally I would like to see Juan Gonzalez in the HOF but the bad press concerns me about him getting the vote. On talent he is worthy of HOF.
