Message: [QUOTE="bpo57, post: 1890408, member: 1572"] Lousy examples. None of those guys have even 2,500 hits let alone 3,000. Their offensive production alone wasn't worthy. It might be unfair but a lot of the basis for being in the HoF is stat compilation. In the modern era you if you don't have 3,000 and or 400 then it's highly unlikely you're getting into the HoF unless you're a catcher or spectacular middle infielder (looking at you Ozzie Smith). Cano is on track to make the HoF if he has a few more years like this one. But he still has some wood to chop. If he falls short of 3,000 and 400 then I don't think he's getting in. What are the intangibles that overcome that deficiency? [/QUOTE]
