Baseball writers love to acknowledge who hit the most home runs while playing a certain position, so why is Kent, who hit more homers than any other second baseman, still awaiting induction?

Beltrn's 70.1 career Wins Above Replacement, per Baseball Reference, ranks eighth all-time among center fielders, behind only six Hall of Famers -- Willie Mays, Ty Cobb, Tris Speaker, Mickey Mantle, Ken Griffey Jr. and Joe DiMaggio -- and Mike Trout. Todd Helton is chronically disrespected in regard to his offensive numbers due to him being a career member of the Colorado Rockies and thus playing his home games for his career in Coors Field. Whilst Rodriguez seems the more likely to be elected this year, after a reasonable 34.3% vote on his first showing in 2022, both must be wincing with trepidation seeing seven-time MVP Barry Bonds peak at 66% in his final year of eligibility and miss out on enshrinement. Through each of his 18 seasons, he turned in a winning record and his postseason exploits include a 19-11 record and 183 strikeouts in 44 appearances.

Again, look at McGriff. It will be interesting to monitor Wagner alongside K-Rod, with two of the most dominant closers of their times vying for election. (Michael Ponzini/National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum). Thats why he lasted 22 years and still posted a career 60.5 bWAR.

Manny Ramrez was a 12-time All-Star and nine-time Silver Slugger Award winner as an outfielder. Wagners career ERA was 2.31 and his WHIP was 1.00. Jake Crumpler: Scott Rolen, Todd Helton, and Billy Wagner all have a pretty good shot at getting in, with the first two being on track to do so in 2023. Jered Weaver posted double-digit win totals in 10 seasons, including an American League-leading 20 wins in 2012 and AL-best 18 wins in 2014. His career stolen base success rate of 85.16 ranks third all-time among players with at least 100 stolen base attempts. Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens and Curt Schilling are all off the BBWAA ballot after passing through their 10th and final year of eligibility without being elected to Cooperstown. Jones 111 OPS+ is much better than Smiths 87. A players case can grow exponentially from year to year as ballots clear up, voters look harder at resumes, and that dreaded 10th year arrises.
