17. Biggio, Craig HOU H 2929 3000 Next Season


By the end of next season he is projected to be 27th all time in hits, 7th in doubles, 16th in runs. Pretty good numbers, plus he didn't always have a lot of talent around him.

In the next two years we may see Manny Ramirez reach 500 home runs, plus Arod, Frank Thomas, Jim Thome, and Gary Sheffield. How many of these guys are bonafide HOFers? I would say Arod, possibly Thomas, definately not Sheffield and Thome, and I'm not sure about Manny.
