Seems like the guy mainly just played forever. I don't see it. I doubt others will, and I bet he doesn't get in. Why do you want to give so much credit to somebody with a tiny strike zone (that resulted in getting a lot of walks?) Of course it's gunna be easy for Raines to get walks. It's pretty easy for Furcal, too. If you want a mediocre player to get in, then save your mediocre vote for when Biggio comes up.
actually the majority of his important numbers were accumulated during a 11 year period where he was a premier player. He was a better player than other Hall of famers of his type AND he accumulated a signifigant number of milestones.
