Andruw Jones has a case for Cooperstown. There is an argument for and against, but you'll be waiting a while if you think he will get in.

That being said, the voters are getting more and more metrics focused every year and this kind of thinking would help the cases of guys like he, Walker and Edmonds. IMO, if Ozzie Smith is in and Brooks Robinson, Andruw should be too as he was great with the glove and a better hitter than either of them.

All this defensive HOF focus brings to mind Bill Mazeroski.
What's your opinion of him being in? Was he that much better than his 2B peers? How much weight did his WS-winning homer get? Was he the result of some sort of 'unofficial' quota being used for each position? IE Was he the best of an average lot? .
