He got a late start but is definitely one of the three best hitters in the game today.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15332108480239668738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1420149012024426620.post-72059996371151634382017-08-05T12:29:32.228-04:002017-08-05T12:29:32.228-04:00I wouldn't write off Sabathia so quickly.

He could definitely make that.<br /><br />I do agree that Kinsler is unlikely, but if part of this was to highlight how many 70 players is, even if 70 active players making Cooperstown is comparable to how many players made the Hall back in older eras. Some of these guys will need to be stretches.Theohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07356047156527558873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1420149012024426620.post-72198413096460133142017-08-02T23:47:53.827-04:002017-08-02T23:47:53.827-04:00Sabathia and Kinsler are not going to be inducted ...Sabathia and Kinsler are not going to be inducted into the HoF, nor should they be, so you lost me at that point. What I found most interesting in your article however was your dismissal of the potential for induction of Yadier Molina. I think he is highly respected, 8 Gold Gloves, hit over .300 in all three World series he started in, outstanding catcher ERA (that is not factored in to WAR). As voters progress and realize that catchers are underrepresented and specifically there are catcher components that are ill-defined by WAR, his peripherals may well sway enough voters. I'd say he has a 20% chance of eventual induction. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
