Andruw Jones: Hall of Famer?

Think that's because he followed up some dominant prime seasons with a couple shit seasons. Even if he was just decent for about 4-5 more seasons it may have been enough. But he also quickly got out of shape and started getting hurt.

 

You win 10 Gold Gloves, that sounds Hall of Fame to me. It's not like he can't hit, either.

 

The year Palmeiro won a Gold Glove while being a full-time DH, everyone should have stopped caring about who wins Gold Gloves.

 

The numbers I quoted were from Fangraphs.

Edmonds was known for playing a very shallow center field. A good example is on the second of his two most memorable catches, vs Houston in the '04 NLCS.

 

Isn't this the kind of sweeping generalization based upon a tiny sample size, a potential outlier, you urge people to resist making, in most cases?

 

How many did Gary Pettis win?

 

Nope. This is a voting body, not an expression of weighted randomness. It's a disqualifying event.

 

I'm leaning toward no for Cooperstown, but he gave HOF testimony in the Gold Club trial.
