I checked out Bobby Abreu's numbers. He is NOT a hall of famer in my opinion. Heck, I think Adam Dunn's numbers are more impressive (but that's probably more my opinion than a legitimate assessment). Back to Abreu:

-Only been an All-Star 2x
-Only 1 Gold Glove
-Only 1 Silver Slugger

Has he amassed some good offensive stats consistently and for a long time? It would appear so. He seems like he's been a good player over a considerably long period of time. And some of his numbers aren't that impressive:

-2,200+ hits (very nice, not HoF)
-#27 all-time on the strikeout list

Before this season, he had 12 straight seasons of 150+ hits - quite nice and consistent. Definitely NOT a Hall of Fame (Hall-of-Faker) candidate to me. Though a solid career for a long time - with power (some), speed, and OBP. And a decent AVG to boot... -StanO (11/16/10)

    since when are all star appearances and gold gloves taken into account when casting hall of fame votes? It's almost exclusively offensive numbers. Not saying he is a HOF'er but your argument against him isn't the greatest.
