If you look at the JAWS system (
http://www.baseball-reference.com/leaders/jaws_1B.shtml) a statistical case can be made that Hernandez is more than a borderline HOFer. There are 11 HOF 1B ranked ahead of him (Gehrig, Foxx, Anson, Connor, Brouthers, Mize, F. Thomas (DH), McCovey, Murray, Greenberg, and Sisler). There are 7 HOF 1B ranked lower than him (Terry, Beckley, Perez, Cepeda, Chance, Bottomley, Kelly). So statistically and quantitatively, he is right in the mix. More subjectively, other than the fact that I watched him play for five years and considered him the best player on the Mets, the fact that he won an MVP, was a key member of two different World Champions, was the greatest fielder of all-time at 1B, and IS ALREADY famous, he is more than worthy of being in the Hall of Fame.
