In.

He's 92 hits from 3,000.
600+ doubles (Top Ten all time)
400+ SB
almost 1800 Runs (Top 20 all time)

His most similar players are Roberto Alomar (should get in), Joe Morgan (in), and Robin Yount (in).

I didn't realize he was that close to 3000. I guess he is more of a shoo-in than I thought.

He would have made it had he retired three years ago. Now it isn't even close.

Kent has 342 and I'm sure almost all of them are at 2B. I'm a Yanks fan and love Cano but I don't see him being a slugger anywhere near the likes of Kent...he'll hit for high average with a ton of doubles but he won't break any HR records.

I played at Seton Hall with Biggio by the way...2 years behind him (I only played one year though). He was the man, awesome guy.

Well if he gets in, just further proof the hall is a crock of shit that means nothing now. "good for a 2nd basemen" blah blah blah, awful... reward players for playing a position that historically has shitty players, so because of that the standard is lowered for you getting into the hall.

hmmmm seems like a political discussion.......
