Well I don't know. Maybe that he's going to already be 32 in the offseason and only has 171 home runs and 610 RBI. He has two or three great seasons left in him. He has no gold gloves, one ring, a great supporting cast and like I previously stated. He's getting old already. If people like Peter Gammons vote for the Hall of Fame then sure he might get in. He's NOT a Hall of Famer though.
Utley's career slash lines are pretty good (.294/.380/.521) but he's not going to be able to play for much longer at that level, so I find Gammons to be quite the comedian saying Utley is a HOFer.
Hard to say how many great years he has left. I'll guess he finishes with over 350 HR, and he will be considered the best 2B of this generation. Do you think Jeff Kent is a HOFer?
WOW, Stros are about to have a HUGE bat starring them in the face either way...c'mon Stros make me proud.
jimcallisBA: Look West Coast bat for Rays at 17. JSale would be great value, could be Vettleson too. #mlbdraft
