Rookie class of 2016 -- any HOFers?
 
I can think of only two in the picture but neither seems particularly compelling to me -- Trea Turner and Corey Seager? Am I missing anyone?

2015 doesn't seem very strong either -- Correa, Lindor, anyone else?

On an even tougher path than the others IMO. Don't see it.

Don't see many paths for Turner or Seager either. Both already over 30 and not even close to any meaningful counting stats.

Anything's possible if one of these guys stays healthy and shows later career resurgence or even just consistency, like an Adrian Beltre or Dave Winfield.

Most players pretty much peter out by 34-35 but some obviously stay healthy enough and impactful enough to overcome their earlier career projections.

Not the type of players most collectors "invest" in, but still, possible HOF'ers, yes.

I generally agree but in the cases of Turner and Seager they would have to be even better after 30 than they were before to generate enough of a career to be considered. Not something that tends to happen.
