HOF Bound?

theplane · 04-06-2011, 10:38 PM

Which current MLB players do you think are likely headed for the hall. Of course, many of the 35+ year old guys will come up, but please consider some of the younger guys as well. I like Mauer and Pujols personally.

So lets see your list of every current MLB player you think will end up in the HOF!

Tim Lincecum- in his 3 first full seasons he gets 2 cy young awards, 3 all-star selections, and a World Series. Plus he led the NL in K's in all 3 seasons. I wouldnt be surprised if he wins another cy young this year.

Ichiro Suzuki- 10 consecutive 200 hit seasons, most 200 hit seasons, most hits in a season.

and my wild card guess of a guy who was a rookie last year:

Mike Stanton- I personally think he will break alot of HR records, the guy is only 21 and i think he is the best power hitter in the game.

Derek Jeter - has to be a lock, coming up on 3,000 hits this year and with everything he's accomplished in his career

Ichiro - as said above, this guys numbers are insane makes you wonder what kind of damage he would have done if he came into the league as a 20 yr old

My wild card:

Stephen Strasbug - if he can recover from surgery and come back stronger god knows what he can do with the ball in his hand!

I agree with your 2 "likely". So my question is... Mauer or Ichiro? Which is more likely?

natbornkiller · 04-06-2011, 11:07 PM

locks
jeter ichiro pujols
mariano rivera should be a lock but we know what the voters think of closers

possibles
posada halladay (see below)

the problem is the current pitchers will not have 300 wins at the end of their careers (they have to crack the majors at like 18 and retire with no major injury at retire at like 45 to come close)

I say Ivan Rodriguez, Ryan Zimmerman (if his numbers hold up), Mariano Riviera, and if Harper lives up to the hype he's a lock.

wolffer12 · 04-06-2011, 11:14 PM

Locks----- Ichiro, Fat Albert, Mariano, Omar Vizquel, IRod (if he didn't do roids)

If and when Jim Thome hits 600 he reaches "mortal lock" status IMO.

Purely looking into the #'s and all I'd say the following:
Ichiro, Pujols, Ivan Rodriguez, Rivera, and barring injury King Felix & Lincecum though it is far more difficult projecting pitchers long term for HOF status.

Omar for sure.
