Good one! I don't know off hand. Always like him and he had a good and long career,lol. I just don't know if I would put him in or if he will get in. Amazing how long hes been able to play and be effective with out having much velocity.

He'd be the worst pitcher to enter the HOF by a pretty sizable margin.

Absolutely zero chance and we already discussed this on this forum.

Not sure if it has been discussed in here, but -

Chase Utley? I vote yes. I think he'd be the only position player currently on the Phillies who should get in

If Chase Utley has 5 more great years, then maybe. It is much too early in his career to be speculating about his HOF chances IMO.

Yeah that's what I was thinking. I'd say he is on pace to be a HOFer, then

If Howard hits 500 home runs, I'd consider him. He's a poor defender, strikes out too much with a mediocre walk rate, and benefits from his home park. That said, I believe he's "clean" and hitting 500 would be quite an accomplishment along with an OPS just a tick below 1000.

All that said, I don't think he gets to 500...he just got started too late.

We have seen Howard hit 45+ HR's in a season 4 times already and at 31 is already half way there. If Howard can be productive into his late 30's then maybe he could play long enough as a DH or whatever to have a shot.

He has to have 5 more great years as a 2B and i'm not sure he will be able to play 2B for 5 more years. Consider he is 32 and has a bad hip, at some point he may have to change positions which would greatly impact his HOF chances.

Yes, but his power numbers are already declining. He has had three straight years on decline...if he bounces back this year and hits 45 that will be good, but I am thinking he's already on the back side.

Howard has a LONG way to go to even warrant any discussion.

Agreed.

Even if he gets to 500, that's not the magic number that it used to be.
