Hall of Fame voting for closers seems like a crapshoot, but if Jansen gets to 500 career saves, I think he gets in. He's been pretty consistent for 14 years and also has a significant amount of postseason appearances where his performance has been comparable to his regular season work. If a voter is willing to vote for a reliever (which I don't think all are), it's hard to see why they wouldn't vote for Jansen. His raw stats are as good or better than Kimbrel and Chapman who are his contemporaries so he could be considered the best closer of his era which is another reason some may decide to vote for him.
