Say it out loud, "Jeff Kent is the all time leader in HR at 2B". It's like saying he's the skinniest kid at fat camp. There's more to being a HOF then offensive #'s.
Rod Carew, Rogers Hornsby,Joe Morgan, Jackie Robinson,Ryne Sandberg, Jeff Kent....LOL
Guys I'm not saying he doesn't have some impressive numbers. He does. But considering him a 1st ballot HOF is ridiculous.
Does Defense not come into play at all here? I mean the ability to field your position well should count for something. And if it doesn't, then just looking at his numbers, he doesn't really stack up that well to the all time hitters of the game.:dunno:
Outside of his spitting incident, I would consider Roberto Alomar a HOF 2B before Kent.
