Pedroia would be damn close. RotY, MVP, 2x World Series Champ, 4x gold glover, and a silver slugger award and a long enough career.


He's going to meet all of the standards to be a HOFer but I don't think he's there quite yet. The average WAR for HOF 2B is 69.3 WAR. Now, I don't think Pedroia has to get to 70 WAR to be considered a HOFer. Alomar and Biggio both fell short of that mark. However, he needs to get to at least 60 WAR. Cano and Utley are there already. Pedroia's at 50 WAR right now. He needs two more 5 WAR seasons or three more 3.5 WAR seasons while being at least a replacement level player when he's in his late 30s. I would say the same for Ian Kinsler as well who's another great 2B from this era.

If Kershaw got hit by a bus tomorrow his career would be extremely comparable to Koufax. I think he's got to be in.

I agree, but I also think his reputation will help him quite a bit with the voters. Dude is considered the definition of grit.
