I've been on Beltre's sneaky hall campaign for a while.

I know Mauer has a nice resume, but he would be the least sexy HoF player ever, it seems. A singles/doubles hitter that plays catcher. Yay.

ETA: Beltran should definitely get in.

+1. He is the guy no one talks about that I think has a great case. You never know when a guy will lose it but his numbers right now are impressive. Scott Rolen will not get in but will get support and Beltre's numbers are much better than his. Throw in that he is also a great defensive player and I think he'll get in. He is young enough to put up a few more good seasons and continue to accumulate stats. It is very likely he hits 400 hrs and 2500 hits even if he were to fall off a cliff (production wise, not literally) today.

Mauer gets on base as well as anyone. Just because he only one season with 28 and his second highest is 13 does not mean he is not HOF quality. It was looking a little shaky when he was injured a lot for a bit there, but he is a generational and should be up for consideration.
