Him along with Ichiro are locks to me. First ballots.

Seriously? I don't think Chipper is a HOF. No Met issue at all.

What hasnt he done that would keep him out? His numbers are big and his consistency and longevity amazing. He doesnt have the Cal Ripken streak but he hasnt missed much time. He hits for power and avearge and has hardly had any really off years. His fielding is excellent.

Tim, I think he compiles numbers, I've never felt he was a top 5 player in the league over a period of time....I think the HOF should be special.

The problem with that is that the standard has been set by the prior induction of players.
