The translator's story changed multiple times as this story was breaking. Yes, I believe Ohtani was naive, likely so naive he didn't know about the gambling rule or history. For me, he knew more than what came out and his lawyers and handlers jumped in quickly to lock things down. Where there is smoke there is fire. As BC pointed out, if he's addicted, then the behavior will likely manifest again. I hope Stanford's Rintaro breaks Ohtani's records as he did in high school.
As for the players list - I think all of those down to Sosa should get in, but with an asterisk to gambling or steroids. I do think some of the voters might just keep Rose out given his attitude/anger post ban.
As for the character guidance for the HOF, well, we all know how much that helped Toby, Andrew and CMac for the Voldemort/Voldamort Trophy.
