Based on other players that have been enshrined, I think Walker should be in the HOF, even after looking at the amount of fairly bland plate appearances he had for Montreal and St. Louis.

Tony Gwynn was a singles hitter that hit for a high average. Larry Walker was better in every other phase of the game. He provided more power while still hitting for a high average. His OPS away from Coors was higher than Gwynn's. He was a better fielder, had a better arm and was a better base runner. He had a higher peak. That is why both his bWAR and fWAR as well as JAWs are higher than Gwynn's. It is not meant to be a knock on Gwynn or any of the others on that list, but the point is to show how under rated Walker is.
