I think Greinke will get in. Cole is on track. I also think Ohtani will eventually get in

It helps playing 20 or so playoff games every year. Ruth, Mantle and DiMaggio got seven or less per year.

Acuna putting up an 8 WAR season, and at 25 has 174 steals. He’s 12th active for steals and everyone above him is 30+ years old. He’s probably going to push 400 HRs for his career if his power stays consistent into early 30s. He’s going to be considered one of the greatest ever barring injury.


I don’t disagree

Every single one of then minus Realmuto. Only other questionable one is Altuve but he is deserving IMO.

Arenado will likely take awhile to get in, but he is a top 2-3 defender in all of baseball over the last decade, and that’s for any position. He’s a better version of Scott Rolen.

Harper needs about 3-4 more seasons of elite production.

Freeman is one if best overall players of last decade.

Betts should be a 2-3 time MVP by the time his career is done.

Acuna has an amazing ceiling to be an all time great if he’s stays injury free.

Trout and Verlander are first ballot.

Scherzer is top 3 pitcher of last decade and has swayed WS championships

I'll also add:
Craig Kimbrel
Ozzie Albies
Miggy

And Will Clark should have been in a decade ago.

Oh, and Andruw Jones.

He should have been in 5 years ago.

Good call. He's such a good player, but 3B is the hardest position to get into the HoF that he is probably gonna be left out even if he has borderline numbers like you said.

Isn't 70 WAR the magic number? Based on that:


Already in:

Mike Trout
Max Scherzer
Mookie Betts
Justin Verlander



Work to do:
Bryce Harper
Jose Altuve
Freddie Freeman
Nolan Arrenado
Ronald Acuna

Too late:
JT Realmuto

PREACH!

And sorry Dodgers fans, but he's winning the MVP.

He doesn't have the numbers you normally need, but Bumgarner's playoff reputation might get him some serious consideration.

Compared to Mussina.

Greinke has a Cy Young and should get to 3k K's

Greinke could hold his own at the plate, too.

I think Greinke is gonna have a tough time finding a gig for next year (if he even wants one) but he should be in regardless

Mike Trout-already in. Yes.
Max Scherzer-already in. Yes.
Nolan Arrenado-He will make it.
Freddie Freeman-He will make it.
Bryce Harper-Without a doubt will 100% make it. Kind of think he's already in now.
Mookie Betts-Without a doubt will 100% make it. Kind of think he's already in now.
Jose Altuve-Already in. Yes (unless the brainless morons come out with the muh trash can garbage)
Justin Verlander-already in. Yes
JT Realmuto-Sorry but no absolutely not
Ronald Acuna-Obviously way too young still but he's definitely on his way and think he makes it
