Stanton is a career .258 hitter currently with 1537 hits and 44.6 WAR. Griffey hit .284 with 2781 hits and 83.8 WAR. Murray hit .287 with 3255 hits and 68.7 WAR.
If Stanton gets to 500 HR, his hit total and WAR will go up (although WAR may not be by much), but his average and OPS+ will likely go down. 500 HR with no PED connection had always been an automatic ticket to the Hall of Fame. I think Stanton will be a test of that if he gets to 500 because of the emphasis these days on advanced stats such as WAR where he doesn't measure up as favorably.
