Andres Gallarraga does not get too much notice on this thread. He is a 5x allstar. Yes first baseman stats have a high bar but he was a 2x silver slugger.
6 x Top 10 MVP and 7 x Top 20 MVP career batting .288 and 399 homers is a good combo power and avg. No world series.. If he played for the Yankees and won a championship really I think hes only one all star season away from making the Hall. (Projected .290 435 homers 2500+ hits and championship) I am not sure how many 500 home run hitters that played first base had a career avg over .290 |

I think Galarraga was a good player but I don't think he's a HOFer if Carlos Delgado and Fred McGriff aren't.

Delgado was 7 x top 20 MVP .280 lifetime and 473 homers..1500 rbis only in 10 postseason games... I still like Galarraga over Delgado.... but mcgriff over both |

If the strike shorten season of 94 never happened McGriff most likely would have gotten to 500 HRs. He had 34 in 113 games that year. He prob would have hit another 7 given him 500 for his career. Based on numbers he is a borderline HOF, but I feel like he was deserving. He was just overshadowed by many in that era. And he had a great nickname. |
