Scott Rolen really that much better than Rollins


The hell, Rolen is immensely better than Rollins. Rollins had a career wRC+ of 95 and just less than 50 career WAR, he wasn't good enough offensively to be a HOF player. He was a very good player and awesome defensively, but not HOF quality.

Rolen on the other hand had a career WAR of just under 70 and had a career wRC+ of 122. He was one of the better defensive 3B of all time while also being really good offensively. While he may have been overshadowed by better HOF 3B that played during the same time frame like Chipper and Beltre, he definitely deserved to get in himself. And I say that as a Braves fan that was kinda slanted against him due to him being a Phillie to start his career.

If Barry Larkin can get in... JRol should get in. And if JRol can get in, Dustin Pedroia should be borderline.

Larkin was a 70 WAR player. Not close!
