Schwarber has a 17 WAR and a .231 BA. Enough said.

I'd take the under on him and 500 HR's also. 200 left to go at 32 years old and no reason to play him if he slips at all from his current levels. If he becomes a .200 30 home run guy he's actually hurting your team.

Greinke is top 100 in all-time WAR, ahead of many no-doubt HOFers. He should absolutely get in.

Schwarber would definitely be another interesting case if he gets to 500 home runs, but also a long way to go to 500.

WIth his WAR and BA, he's not making the Hall either way.

Jeff Kent was one I never understood. Most home runs and rbi all time as a second baseman and barely at 15% of the vote every year.

Kent is one of those guys that shows much better in pure counting stats than modern ones. As soon as you start to take the era he played in into account, his case gets quite a bit worse.

I'm sure the off field stuff doesn't help, but it's not the only reason.

You're probably right, but that's what would make it interesting to see what happens if he did actually get to 500 home runs.
