It believe it takes a minimum of 10 years major league service to be eligible for the HOF. Of all the players out there right now with 5 years or less of the Majors, which ones would you put money on to make it?

I'll get it started by going way out on a limb: Mike Trout image

    Does kershaw qualify?

    He's definitely on his way but this is his 7th season.

    I wish that I was on my way to the National Baseball Hall of Fame. I have never been there, and it has been on my bucket list since high school. image

    All kidding aside, I will say that Andrew McKutchen will be inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame one day.

    The odds on Trout would not be very enticing at this point.

    I'll throw a few bucks down on George Springer, Sonny Gray, and Chris Sale.

    Forget about players out there now!

    What about this guy Tim?

    Billy Wagner all-time relief pitcher rankings (500+ innings)

    LOB% - 1ST (probably THE most important stat for a reliever)
    AVG - 1ST
    K/9 - 1ST (also all-time for ALL pitchers)
    K% - 1ST
    ERA - 2ND
    ERA- - 2ND
    WHIP - 3RD
    FIP- - 3RD
    WAR - 4TH
    FIP - 4TH
    Saves - 5TH
    Ks - 6TH
    K/BB - 6TH

    Can't have a serious Hall Of Fame discussion on this board without mention of Billy Wagner!

    Future HOF's ---- Mccutchen, Pujols, Trout....
  • DanBessetteDanBessette Posts: 6,421 ✭✭✭
    If mccutchen qualifies he's the only guy I'd list besides trout. Others who are on their way but exceed the 5 years rule: kershaw, pujols, jeter, miggy, Ichiro, sabathia, maybe cano, maybe beltre (look up his stats and gold gloves). Maybe yadier? I'm doing this off the top of my head. Maybe utley. Maybe pedroia, but he needs to rebound. Ditto verlander. Tulo, depending on health. And finally, don't forget nick Punto.

    All good stats, but my favorite thing about Wagner is he was born right-handed. Broke his arm twice as a kid and taught himself to pitch left handed. I remembered hearing about that on Astros broadcasts and just looked at his Wiki page to confirm it before posting.

    Will go a little more dark horse:

    Jose Altuve
    Starlin Castro
    Garrett Richards


    Betting "no" on:

    Jose Abreu - Tax evasion
    Yasiel Puig - Albert Belle syndrome

    Going with someone who hasn't been mentioned yet, I'll take Buster Posey if he qualifies. ROY, MVP and two WS rings. That's a pretty good start to a career.

    Funny, no mention of Trout's ROY counterpart from the NL, Bryce Harper. If he could ever stay healthy. Also waiting for a Puig vote.

    Why have Giancarlo Stanton and Yu Darvish been overlooked?

    Pitchers are tough because you have to worry about arm problems (ie. Matt Harvey, Jose Fernandez and Masahiro Tanaka).
