Yeah, he really did have a late surge. Plus 3000 hits though it's crazy how with the 24 hour news cycle and post-PED era, baseball records just don't resonate like they once did.

I voted "still needs to prove more" 4 years ago. Today, I would vote yes.

I voted no back in the day.
And my reasoning was lack of dominance. He just didnt dominate. But I do longevity also. And Beltre is creeping into my yes category as he hits milestones. In fact, I would probably vote yes since he got his 3000 hit.

I'm still trying to figure out which one is Beltre and which one is Beltran.

Quote:
He's an interesting case. His JAWS puts him fairly easily as he ranks 7th among catchers and surpasses the average HoF catcher in every category they measure. In his 10 years as a catcher he triple slashed .323/.405/.469 with elite defense at a premium defensive position. Comparing his career to Yogi he had 27 less hits and nearly identical OPS and OPS+ When you think of Mauer you generally don't think HoFer, but when you break down his career I think he falls on the safe side of getting in fairly comfortably. I think what drags him down in people's minds is playing in Minnesota, never winning a postseason series, and his league average run as a first baseman to close out his career. |
