Freddie Freeman

He's absolutely killng it. And it's no fluke, he's just 33 and he now has over 300 HR and 2000 hits. He's a virtual unknown in the hobby judging by some prices I just looked at -- a fraction of what the same cards of Trout go for. Thoughts?

Probably a HOFer; misses if he retires today but he's not liable to disappear next year and he doesn't need a whole lot more to get in. Hope he makes it and keeps performing like this.

By all accounts seems like a good guy and very solid player. I have been picking up his RC's over the years, especially the Topps Black when they show up. He definitely has a shot at 500/3000....my prediction (let'see how this ages) is winds up closer to 398/2700.

He is already above three of Baseball Reference's 4 metrics, but of course he isn't going away as he's only 33.

Impressive low-key HOF career so far. Only seems to be getting better with age (at least offensively).

Wish "Donny Baseball" had this type of run in his 30's.

Reminds me of Chipper Jones. A HOFer, but never a hobby darling, either.

Baseball-reference's similarity scores are really just for fun (they don't mean much), but on Freeman they've got it right. He's an Eddie Murray clone.
