Is Kyle Schwarber a HOFer?

[JWBlue]

Answering the question in the title: As much as I like Schwarber and feel he has a good chance to be in the HOF, I don't think he will.

He has a 19.8 WAR at age 32. He will have to mash for the next 8 seasons.

Who has more WS wins: Trout, Judge or Schwarbs?

I’ll hang up and listen.

It's an exhibition game who cares

OK, well this helps his case. Sure it's an All-Star Game swing-off but an All-Star MVP is an All-Star MVP. I'd say it definitely helps his brand and in signing a new long-term contract. Still a long way to go, so we shall see.

I agree that this helps his case. We are talking about the Hall of FAME, and last night certainly made him more famous.

I'm actually confused...who is the other commentator besides joe davis during the swing off? where did smoltz go?

No, it doesn't. He still is never getting in. Steve Garvey has 2 AS MVPs, 10 AS selections, 2 NLCS MVP, 1 NL MVP and double the WAR of Kyle and he isn't in the HOF.

Putting a guy in the HOF with a .231 avg and all those strikeouts would be hilarious. That’s baseball these days

He will be one day.

Ohtani left the game early to put money on Schwarbs. What an absolute beast.

Gotta give credit where credit is due. In today's world, people love winners. People love highlights. This should help him sign a long term contract with someone. The man's 32 so long term might be only 5 years. Not sure if he can do enough in that short time frame to be worthy though. He'd need an 8 year with the contract being front loaded and perform to the end.

Awards are sometimes for the best choice, not a good player.

Schwarbs would have destroyed 70s-80s pitching.
