Rolen played an extremely solid third base over a long period of time. He compiled numbers, that were good to very good. Rolen was essentially Buddy Bell, but with more power, In my humble opinion.

Do I think he is Hall of Fame worthy? I'm on the fence. Probably more of the Hall of Very Good, if there was such a thing. But the Hall of Fame has expanded, it stopped being a small Hall a long time ago. When we look at the numbers we see a guy that never led the league in any offensive category, but someone who was very good on defense.

Frankly I don't think McGriff belongs there either. But little we can do but debate about it.
