If you get around a 60 WAR, you start getting into HOF conversation. FG has Votto at 58 and BR has him at 64.

So, he’s in the ballpark, which means there is a discussion.

Hes also a good dude and the media has loved him and while that shouldn’t matter, it does. He will get extra points for that.

I remember when the discussion started with 300 hits or 500 HR. Times have changed.

.500 OBP would be extremely valuable

The player in question had 54 HR over 17 seasons.  How many modern players have such little power? 

To exert that much effort for that level of gain....well no one that actually plays or coaches seems to think it's worth it.

Even the all time leader, that's ~22 attempts a season.
