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.

Beltre is far from a Dave Parker. Everyone should look up players with 2,700 or more hits, 400 or more HR's. I think that will weed out a lot of players, and shine some light on others.

Here's one with 2,500 or more hits, and 400 or more HR's. All are in the HOF or will be.

Never been a huge fan of Beltre but I'd have to say he's a no brainier.

Well, if you look up Adrian Beltre on Baseball Reference, the player he most resembles statistically is.. you guessed it ... Dave Parker. So I stand by the comparison.

Koufax COMPLETED 27 games in 65 and again in 66. It didn't matter to him what his bullpen did, because he didn't need one. Kershaw's best has been 6. Of course much of that is a function of their respective eras, but let's give credit where credit is due.

To their managers? Or is Kershaw asking to be removed from games more often than Koufax did?
