Not sure I found that exact argument, but it could well be that Joe thinks that WAR overvalues HRs in the absence of other components? Both Sosa and Sheffield, while very strong players, had weaknesses in other areas of their games. They certainly have HOF cases, but would be marginal inductees IMHO.
