In my opinion Jeff Bagwell and Craig Biggio should easily make the hall of fame...Bagwell has done so many great things for the Astros organization and biggio is the only player to ever make the all-star game as a catcher and a second baseman but will they make the hall?

Yes and yes.
Bagwell is a no-brainer, a guy with almost 450 homers and an awesome OBP of .408. His adjusted OPS is 33rd all-time, putting him in some seriously select company. He also has the requisite hardware, including both a ROY award and an MVP award.
Biggio might not get in as quickly, but he will be in Cooperstown soon enough. He might not blow anyone away with his numbers, but they're impressive - 2,800 hits, over 250 homers and 400 stolen bases, and some impressive slugging numbers for a leadoff guy. I'm not a huge fan of stolen bases, but Biggio was one of those guys who succeeded enough to make it a worthwhile gamble. His comps are guys like Joe Morgan, Molly, and Charlie Gehringer, so his induction is more than likely.
Both of these guys have been a lot of fun to watch throughout their careers, even for those of us who aren't Astros fans.

Yes...Biggio will eventually get 3000 hits which is a lock and Bagwell was the best first baseman during the time he played. They may not make it on the first ballot, but they are locks for the hall of fame.

I certainly think when all is said and done, Jeff Bagwell and Craig Biggio will be Hall of Famers in Cooperstown.

Biggio will make it. Bagwell probably will not. Biggio was a very good player at a number of positions, spent his entire career with the same team and was a perennial all star selection.

Biggio is a lock. He's the most consistent player of all time. He's the guy you want on your team in the #1 slot. He finds ways to get on the sack. I think he's #1 all time for hit by pitches and also holds a record for most plate appearances without hitting into a double play. Actually I think he went an entire season without doing it.
Bags..... I'd like to see it but for some reason I don't see it happening.

They both have a decent shot. Biggio has better all time numbers, but Bags still has a shot.

Neither will make the Hall of Fame. Neither has the credentials to do so. Good players, but not great!!
Chow!!

Absolutely. The Killer B's have been the faces of the Astros for over a decade, and they are certain to make it to Cooperstown.
