Adam Dunn is 33 and over his decline years (the past three) has still averaged nearly 25 HRs a year. He's got a shot at 500HR with no shot whatsoever at the HOF. What would be a close comparison to him; Dave Kingman?

If you take his career offensive WAR and extrapolate that out will he is 38 (estimated retirement age), he sits at about 45 WAR, putting him in the Carlos Delgado, Sosa, Rusty Staub area, which means he aint getting into the hall.

I wouldn't say last year was a decline year, it was probably one of the greatest, if not the greatest, year to year production difference. Quadrupled HR total, runs, RBI's, pretty much every offensive stat, Big Donkey is back.

He didn't quadruple his strikeout totals (only 222 this year). He'll only get into the Hall if he fans more than Nolan Ryan.

I just picked up a nice Walters. I hope he gets in, even though it is a long shot.

500 hr's will continue to be a benchmark for the hall.
