Team with the most borderline Hall of Famers

What a shame to play a position that no one cares about. I don't have feelings for Kinsler, but Pedroia and Utley were important contibutors for contenders and WS teams.

I think Kent would be in if not for the suspicions surrounding him re: PEDS.

Utley has a case but ultimately I don't think he's a HOFer. He had a decent bat but was never otherworldly. I don't see any cases to be made for Pedroia or Kinsler.

It's a shame Cano cheated because he certainly had the bat for Hall otherwise.

When there are 19 second basemen in the Hall of Fame and their ranks include Joe Gordon, Bid McPhee, Bobby Doerr, Nellie Fox, Johnny Evers, Tony Lazzeri, and Red Schoendienst, you gotta at least give Kent, Kinsler, Pedroia, and Utley a closer look.
