Hardcore troubadour 12,652 Posted November 13, 2017 Tough one, but I would lean towards no... You're right. If you have to think about it then it's a no. Manny-yes. Papi-no Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TimmySmith 2,782 Posted November 13, 2017 Easy HOFer. Of the very few (3-4 non juicers) guys ahead of him on the all time hit list who aren't in the HOF, no one has his power numbers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Reality 2,710 Posted November 13, 2017 4th in HR's by a switch hitter. 1 of 5 players with 400 HR's and 300 SB's. Gold Glove outfielder, don't love his 279 average but, he's in the conversation. 435 HR's & 1587 RBI are legit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
edjr 5,567 Posted November 13, 2017 Finished top 5 MVP (once, 4th) next highest 9th. Get the fock out of here Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

edjr 5,567 Posted November 13, 2017 I probably agree, he simply deserves conversation. Leaning not good enough. 10 seasons of 16 HR or less. Best seasons were during Steroid Era. Gotta do a lot better than a career .837 OPS Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
edjr 5,567 Posted November 13, 2017 No HOF. Shouldn't even get enough votes to stay on the ballot after his 1st year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RaiderHaters Revenge 3,584 Posted November 14, 2017 He's slightly below Fred Mcgriff in my book. Borderline guy but should never get in until people give him the Tim Raines treatment Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Djgb13 2,338 Posted November 14, 2017 I probably agree, he simply deserves conversation. Leaning not good enough. I gotta agree. Great player. Just not HOF worthy IMO Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
