Adrian Beltre - HOFer?
I'm always curious on current players and their chances at Cooperstown. As a Red Sox fan, I got to watch Adrian Beltre for one season and came away extremely impressed (for some reason, I bought into the story that he loafed on the Dodgers after he picked up the big contract). In looking up his stats on Baseball-Reference, he seems to have a decent shot at the Hall of Fame.
He's only 35 and has 2,604 hits, 395 HR and a .285 average. However, he's never won anything, is only a 4 time all star, has only driven in 100 runs 4 times and scores a 9 on the Blank Ink test (average HOF = 27).
What does the forum think?

You are a child of the universe,
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Strive to be happy.
