Packs, check out their WAR7:
Hernandez 41.2
Mattingly 35.8
Most people would agree that 4 good years is not enough to make it to the Hall of Fame.
Mattingly was a better hitter in in '85 and '86 than Keith ever was. But Keith had a longer career and was more consistent.
Their career WARs aren't even close.
There are very few people that consider Mattingly to be the best fielding first basement ever, but there are many that believe Hernandez was. And the stats support this. Check out some tape of Hernandez. He was absurd.
