Simmons had a long, productive career. That's it. He was in the top 10 in MVP voting once. The only thing he consistantly ranked in the top 10 in hitting was GIDP. He never lead the league in any major offensive catagory and his player similarity score is Alan Trammell. Cart on the hand was in the top 6 in MVP voting 4 times, lead the league in RBI one year. He also have 3 Gold Gloves and % Silver Slugger awards. Simmons had one SS. Carter's similarity score is Johnny Bench. I guess bench doesn't belong in the HOF either.

Puckett is like Bonds, you either love him or you hate him. If Koufax can get in with the mediocre career numbers posted, then why not Puckett? No one is claiming he is most deserving, but he is far from the least deserving.
