About Stats and Hall of Fame Induction

Carrying this over from the other thread.

Ok Blitz, I guess the point D and I are trying to make is that the game changes. I think its fair to consider the 80s a different era of baseball as it was before the juiced balls and players of the 90s and current decade. Anyway, as the game changes so does the benchmark for what is considered to be solid statistics. Plus statistics alone don't make for a great player.

I'm going to list some career stats for unnamed players and I would like others to tell me whether or not they think they are HoF material. I'll fill in who they belong to later.
