If you’re a young Orioles shortstop and you don’t have an All-Star caliber season by age 23, apparently something’s wrong with you.

Pretty sure you posting HOF chatter after a rookie season is a sign of the apocalypse!

I try and post as much stuff from Fangraphs as I can to trigger the haters.

Gotta protect the shield!

I enjoyed the article though.  Some fun facts and 'what might have been' in the research.

Fangraphs is the worst.  I'm trying to read this rambling mess and my eyes are glazing over.

You mean to tell me that if Gunnar Henderson has 7 more seasons like this last one, he's got a great shot to make the Hall of Fame?  I'll take "no **** Sherlock" for $200, Alex.  

What do you mean Garciaparra was on a HoF path before the injuries got him?  Had no idea!

The part about Jim Fregosi was interesting.  I don’t think I ever knew about the neuroma in his foot.  He was a very good player in his day who’s sort of gotten lost in the public consciousness.
