Andruw Jones

Jones is another player that I don’t get the lack of traction for. Five-time All-Star, ten-time Gold Glove winner, Silver Slugger winner, ranked in MVP voting five times, career 111 OPS+, and he was great in the postseason. He actually hit better in the postseason than in the regular season. He hit .273/.363/.433 in the postseason and he hit .254/.337/.486 in the regular season. He also has a career WAR of nearly 63.

He’s not a slam-dunk case but I think he’s definitely over the borderline for me.

Bobby Abreu

When you think “Bobby Abreu,” he’s a guy that you think “good player, not a Hall of Famer.” However, when you look at the numbers, they pushed him over the top for me.

60 career WAR, eight seasons of 100+ RBI, nine seasons of 20+ home runs, eight seasons of 100+ walks, a career .291/.395/.475 hitter with an OPS+ of 128, eight seasons with an OBP of .400 or better, and he ranked in MVP voting seven times, was a two-time All-Star, a Silver Slugger winner, and a Gold Glove winner.

Again, not a slam dunk case but the offensive consistency has to, at bare minimum, consider him for a vote.
