If Ooompaloompa Altuve gets to 3000 hits, is he a HOFer?

[edjr 7,149]

Give me a focking break. Of course he is not a HOFer. This is what is wrong with the HOF. 

I don't care that he cheated to win 2 world series and an MVP.

career 830 OPS. GTFO of here

1st off if you’re not cheating you’re not trying

 

2nd 3,000 hits is a lock then you check awards , war etc

He’d def be in. His career matches up very well among his generation. He’d have to wait for a few votes for sure.

They’d need a couple phone books for him when up on the dais.

Quote

Hall of Fame second basemen typically average around a .820 OPS (On-Base Plus Slugging) over their careers, according to Baseball-Reference.com. This indicates a good balance of getting on base and hitting for extra bases. While there's variation, this number serves as a solid benchmark for evaluating the offensive performance of Hall of Fame second basemen. 

Not much of an argument when his OPS would be better than the average HOF 2nd basemen.

Post season he’s a monster (trash can helps).

I went to a Mariner game with 3rd row seats even with the plate one of his first years. Was comical how little he was. 

Had 4 hits if IIRC, lasers all over the place

That’s cheating.

He looks pretty athletic:

He's going in to the HOF even if he retires today.

Yep...  I doubt he will be first ballot (though he probably should be), because of the "cheating" allegations...

Your post reminded me of this thread (post specifically).

If you use WAR, 2 of Tatis' 3 best seasons were AFTER the suspension.
