Re: delgado for HOF??
Black Ink: Batting - 8 (268) (Average HOFer = 27)
Gray Ink: Batting - 115 (174) (Average HOFer = 144) HOF Standards: Batting - 38.0 (168) (Average HOFer =50) HOF Monitor: Batting - 100.5 (141) (Likely HOFer > 100) Overall Rank in parentheses. This according to Baseball-reference.com. I think baseball gonna have a problem in say 5 years or so when they start keeping guys out of the hall of fame with 500 hrs. Has Delgado domintated the sport? I don't think so but just say he avgs even 30hr a year next 5 years he would be 39 with 550 hr and prob close to 2000 rbi's. So it's gonna be close. |

Re: delgado for HOF??
At this point, Delgado is not a HOFer, but he's got a lot of career left.

Re: delgado for HOF??
This coversation is premature. It's tough enough debating guys like Roberta Alomar, etc...and they are done. No use talking about a borderline player like Delgado when he has 4 or 5 years left (at least) to prove or disprove his worth.

Re: delgado for HOF??
I would say Delgado nor Thome are in with their current stats. I think Thome needs 3-4 good seasons and Delgado needs 5-6 good seasons for serious consideration. 500 homers is not a lock anymore.

Re: delgado for HOF??
i think everyone is overthinking the problem. a basic standard for the hall should be that you're one of the best players of your generation at your position. delgado is behind thomas, mcgwire, bagwell, helton, thome, pujols, palmeiro, and not really ahead of olerud, giambi, clark, mcgriff. if he finishes his career strong, he may be one of the top ten first basemen of the 1985-2010 era.

Re: delgado for HOF??
I agree Rice belongs in but he was not nice to media and those guys hold grudges. I once heard a HOF voter say he would NEVER vote yes on any player first time eligible. That is just plain stupid.
