Oh, and by the way, it's good to see that you left out the Dodgers... Of course, I think Kent still has something to prove before he becomes a lock.

I knew I would forget someone. At least it wasn't an important team Kent is on the bubble IMO.

Jeff Kent has the most HR's by a 2B in the history of the game.
No doubt a HOF even if he quit the game today.[/quote]
I'm not sure how they do it but Baseball Reference has a forumla for determining how likely it is that a player gets into the HOF. If you score over 100 you are a likely HOFer - Kent scores 89

I disagree with Vlad, Ichiro, Chipper and Helton. They all have more to prove before they should be considered, IMO.
6 points if they were the regular SS or C on a WS team, 5 points for 2B or CF, 3 for 3B, 2 for LF or RF, and 1 for 1B. I don't have the OF distribution, so I give 3 points for OF.
5 points if they were the regular SS or C on a League Championship (but not WS) team, 3 points for 2B or CF, 1 for 3B. I don't have the OF distribution, so I give 1 points for OF.
2 points if they were the regular SS or C on a Division Championship team (but not WS or LCS), 1 points for 2B, CF, or 3B. I don't have the OF distribution, so I give 1 points for OF.
