Future HOFers
I am going to be selling maybe 20,000 signed cards 1990-2012. I want to pull out all potential future HOFers. Which players who played any years during that time period (or managed) have a good shot at the HOF. Of course Cabrera, Ichiro, Jeter. Thanks in advance for your input

Pujols. Rivera. Griffey.
|
#3
|

|
|||
Ortiz

I think Ortiz will have a little difficulty in the short run, after having tested positive for steroids in the initial 2003 testing (results of which were supposed to have remained confidential, but did not in many cases).
Collect him if you like him, Larry |

I would go with Pujols, V Guerrero, Griffey Jr, Kershaw, F Hernandez, Thome, Trout & M Rivera.

Going way into the future I would say Trout, McCutchen and possibly Harper.

Ortiz will have trouble making the Hall because of PEDs.

Don't be shocked if at some point sooner than later the hall's voter's stand on PEDs moderates.

A very good bet there, I think. Exceptional hitting production for a third baseman, and great in the field.

I dunno. Yes to what you say, but on the other hand, one HR title, one hits title, no MVPs, only 4 all star selections, and who but a hardcore fan could even tell you where he played? EDIT TO ADD If he keeps going and gets to 3000 hits, then I think his odds vastly improve. If not, he may be Dave Parker.

Trout, Kershaw, and (to a lesser extent) McCutchen are certainly on a HOF pace, but they're still early enough in their careers that they're more of a gamble. If they keep up what they've been doing for another 5-10 years, then they'll definitely be HOFers, but if their careers ended today, they wouldn't. Cabrera, Pujols, and Ichiro have done enough to be HOFers even if they retired today.

Guys who haven't been named yet:
Jorge Posada (eventually) Ivan Rodriguez (probably) Chipper Jones Omar Vizquel (eventually) Roy Halladay (maybe) Buster Posey (might be the greatest catcher of all time one day) A word to the wise re: Kershaw / Felix. I'd be very careful. Johan looked like a lock too after winning 2 CYs and 3 ERA titles. Things ended much differently than they started. Last edited by packs; 08-24-2015 at 09:47 AM. |

As a manager, Bruce Bochy (4 pennants and 3 World Series in 21 years, so far).

Still early on some on my list and some should be and or maybe one day (this list is just partial list keep in mind drugs off the field attitudes also play into HOF some may never get in PED I hope never get it, and probable most controversial list and some will argue but you asked potential)
Larry Walker Don Mattingly Sammy Sosa Mark McGwire Barry Bonds Juan Gonzalez Miguel cabrera Derek Jeter Albert Pujols Dave Justice Fred McGriff Kenny Lofton Clayton Kershaw Andrew McCutchen Buster Posey Mike Trout Kevin Millwood- Millwood was part of a pitching rotation which featured Greg Maddux, Tom Glavine and John Smoltz. In 1999 he was selected to his only All-Star Game and helped the Braves to the 1999 World Series and two seasons later the 2001 National League Championship Series. As a member of the Indians, his 2.86 ERA lead all American League pitchers,Millwood made his debut with the Atlanta Braves on July 14, 1997. A year later, he won 17 games. Millwood formed a part of the Braves' star pitching rotation, which also consisted of Greg Maddux, John Smoltz and Tom Glavine. According to Nate Silver, the 1997 Braves starting rotation was the best in the history of baseball.[1] Millwood was traded by the Braves to the Philadelphia Phillies for catcher Johnny Estrada in order to cut their payroll in the midst of economic difficulties. He went 14-12 with his new team, including throwing a no-hitter against the San Francisco Giants on April 27 coming in the Phillies final season at the stadium. Nick Markakis--Maybe not so much Darryl Strawberry Joe Mauer Elvis Andrus-- I just like the way he plays plus he was the 2nd youngest to play MLB, I think he MIGHT get in the Texas Rangers HOF Andruw Jones George Springer Justin Morneau Pudge Chipper Ichiro David Ortiz Griffey JR Mariano Rivera Bryce Harper Last edited by Wayne; 08-24-2015 at 01:47 PM. |

Chipper should be a sure-fire, first-ballot electee, unless I'm not aware of some PED taint. Posey is a fabulous catcher, but will have trouble dislodging Berra, Campanella and Bench for the title of the greatest of all time, especially with the much-discussed shift to first base, and the fact that he never has had quite the HR power of the other three. As to Kershaw, I'd never put money on pitchers as sure-bet HOF'ers until nearly the final tally is in. What they do best is get hurt and/or lose their effectiveness. Verlander, for example, pitched himself into the HOF in his twenties, and pitched himself back out (thus far) in his thirties. Another reason to be leery of Kershaw is the fact that much of his effectiveness is due to the trick/hitch delivery, and the fact that the ball seems to suddenly appear from behind his head. The latter worked for Jerod Weaver until his fastball dropped to mid-80's at best, and with respect to the former, hitters often get accustomed to freak deliveries. Kershaw has virtually the exact same stuff as Bumgarner: 93-95 mph fastball, good slider and curve. Both are very good pitchers, but IMHO, Kershaw to date has piled up the better stats due to the hitch/halt in his delivery, and the fact that he hides the ball better than the Giants' ace. Just my two cents worth, Larry Last edited by ls7plus; 08-25-2015 at 06:15 PM. |

Long shot but I'd say Buehrle, Pierzynski, and Sale.

Mauer should get in based on what he did for 10 years as a catcher. Just needs to get some counting stats up, and not hit 260

Lots of potentials in that timeframe. One doesn't know how certain players will be viewed down the line / who else gets revealed as a PED guy. I'll stay within the current voting enviroment and stick with guys I feel will deserve to be in, vote or vet committee. Most will be 90's to mid 2k's players off the top of my head so I'll miss some guys. I'll leave the Posey's, Trout's, Mauer's to others
Mariano Rivera Mike Piazza Jim Thome Larry Walker Jeff Bagwell Tim Raines Mike Mussina Lee Smith Adrian Beltre Jeff Kent Edgar Martinez Ken Griffey Jr Trevor Hoffman Fred McGriff Ivan Rodriguez Vladimir Guerrero Chipper Jones Scott Rolen Andruw Jones Omar Vizquel Todd Helton Carlos Delgado Carlos Beltran Albert Pujols I've missed some names in there. When Clemens and Bonds are elected it likely opens up the gates a bit for some others like McGwire, Ortiz etc. I like players such as Torii Hunter, Jim Edmonds, Jorge Posada etc but I dunno. I see them getting the Alan Trammell - Dwight Evans style treatment myself. Curt Schilling , Roy Halladay are going to get close if not in IMO, similar to Jack Morris style ballots. Some of the new guys, Harper, Trout, etc. Who knows. You can have 4-5 top notch seasons then it can come crashing down quick (Don Mattingly). Jury is out IMO. |

Chris Sale, Clayton Kershaw, and King Felix are all in the Johan Santana / JR Richard boat right now. You can't call any of them a HOFer and none of them have the career to get them in today. Each of them could just as easily become a Johan or JR in the blink of an eye.
Remember Tim Lincecum? He's still pitching for the Giants, not that you would notice. Last edited by packs; 08-25-2015 at 01:28 PM. |
