Nice list, kind of thought Jose Abreu would be here. He has a slight chance if he would increase his production a bit more.

First, I really enjoy your videos. Just started watching which is why I'm typing this now. I think deGrom is not even close to be a Hall of Famer as he's always hurt. He only has 77 career wins at 34! I'll be surprised if he gets to 120 wins. Only has 1,505 Ks...he'll be lucky to get 2,000. He can't stay on the field. I only say this as so many people throw out his name as the best, or even in same sentence with Kershaw, Scherzer, and he shouldn't be in the same conversation. Anyway, keep up the great work!

Great list Zack Greinke is underrated he is a great pitcher, Altuve to me is a 75% guy

Scottie B you should do a Brett Phillips video and how cheap his cards are !

I honestly think Jose Ramirez should be in the 50% tier. He's only 1 year older than Lindor and he's better with the bat. He's accumulated 30.8 war in less than 6 years. He was on pace for a 6 WAR year last year and could've won MVP. He will finish with 5+ WAR this year too. Additionally a lot of the percentile rankings on Baseball Savant show him as just a real quality player all around. Low strikeout relatively high walk guy with 93 percentile in OAA.

Great video but Stanton I think Stanton should be in the 75% chance column. One of the most prominent power hitters of the last 50 years and if he makes it to 500 homers he’s a lock. Agree?

I think Andrelton Simmons is fantastic.

Agree 100% that Topps Chrome RC is best for Pujols. Why in the world does PSA have the SP Authentic for both he and Ichiro as the card in the set registry?

Spot on analysis. This video is exactly how I invest in current players. I don’t do any prospecting and stick to players with at least a 6-7 year track record. I try to buy fairly low pop cards (1000 or less) that are liquid. Baseball Reference is a must. I always look forward to your videos. Keep it up!

100% agree with Votto, thanks for giving him due credit.

Cole and Correa too

Scottie B, do you think Sabitha will be a 1st ballot HOFer?

always appreciate your content even if I do not agree.... clear, concise and with conviction.... well done as usual buddy.

Fascinating video 🤔, Correa and Altuve have a chance 😀. Altuve has 3 batting titles for a 2B that's elite imo. Goldschmidt has declined badly last 3 years.

Are there active hall of famers now lol JK, my man. Thanks for the vids!

The list I don’t have a problem with. But I don’t see how you’d buy the bowman chrome altuve rookie card over his topps update rookie diamond anniversary or cognac parallel. Any good rookie from 2011 it should be one of those two parallels

"Who knows how HOF voters vote." Awesome comment!

For deGrom, I look at Johan Santana because after 8 years they both had 2 Cy Young awards, had fairly similar numbers and both looked like potential hall of farmers. Santana then only pitched 4 more years and isn’t in. I want to see what deGrom looks like 4 years from now. On track? Yes, but would be at a coin flip category for me right now.

Is the reason for not including Bowman Chrome autos in this list is because that's already known as the go to choice? Or is there some other logic related to price, value, etc?

WoW Judge & Ohtani should get in based on their bodies alone.

What about Abrau?

I tend to like Altuve's chances of making the Hall a lot better than guys like Sale (injury prone and probably mostly forgotten by now), Ramirez (really needs to pick up the WAR pace considering his age), and Simmons (decent player but pretty forgettable, and no all-star games really hurts). Plus, Altuve's awards resume is considerably more impressive than any of them. And on top of all that, he's also one of the most clutch performers ever. While he most likely wouldn't make the Hall if his career ended today, I think he'd have to completely fall off a cliff to not make it in (which he isn't really showing much signs of).

Your videos are always informative and great to watch!! I started getting back into the hobby earlier this year. I'd like to see a rookie list of Bo Bichette rookies if you can put one together. The kid seems solid and definitely comes from some good baseball blood. Still young but could be a phenomenal player. Looking forward to your new videos. You definitely know your stuff! Thanks

One of the best HOF analysis videos I have seen. Thanks for taking the time to put together.

Best Scherzer auto RC is 2008 UD Masterpieces Strokes of Genius. I get that some people only know how to like Topps, but that doesn't mean Topps is best all the time. Also, Trout's best RC is 2011 Bowman Draft paper. High grade chrome is way to easy to find, but the paper stuff is hard to find in gem mint. Give it time and it'll eventually overtake the chrome base.

No shot for Simmons if he gets in jimmy rollins has to get in . Goldshimdt reminds me of fred mgriff or Joe Carter solid .

Interesting. I don't know anything about Andrelton Simmons. He doesn't get any national love.

Anyone who says that a 9 or 9.5 isn’t a good investment.... probably isn’t a good investor.

Great video. I love the breakdowns. I'm surprised you didn't included Stephen Strasburg. Won a WS, was the MVP and ROY. Wondering your take on his Hall chances...

great video - more and more player analysis please

I think you are way too focused on WAR. Last comment, I would put Molina in over deGrom. I live in St Louis and Yadi is such a leader. He's the heart and soul, always get's the loudest applause.

This topic was WAAAAY overdue......thanks for making it happen 🍻💰💰💰

Lets talk about goldy now tho

Also, I think Arenado Chrome purple refractor color match is probably right up your alley. It's not numbered, but best looking.

Loved the video! I learned so much. There were many times where I had to pause to do some more research and some eBay searches. Thanks again!

Great video. Awesome breakdown of the stats, key indicators, and reasonable tiers.

Let's go! Thank you so much! Love the video

You have almost exactly the same views as me on all of these guys. The only two omissions I'd be curious about your positions on are Nelson Cruz and Robinson Cano. Cruz definitely doesn't line up sabermetrics-wise but if/when he gets 500 homers I think he could have a very McGriff-like case. Cano would be a 100% lock without the PEDs, even after the first suspension. But the 2nd time really knocked him out imo, but performance wise he has the numbers.

Where would you put Carlos Beltran, or does he not have a chance at all? 😜🤪

You really know your stuff thanks for all the information sir.

Votto now ha 24HR and is banging one out every other game. He's a lock to get in first round.

Awesome content…thanks!

Great video Scott. What about Correa? 31 WAR and almost 27 years old.

Does Brandon Crawford have any chance of making it to the HOF? Same with Kris Bryant? Giants fan and loving both of them

been debating on picking up a stan rookie for a few months now.

I didn't notice Acuna, he's not a futute HOF?

Great vid Scott 👍🏼

Pujols for sure, however, he made it on the Cardinals. He's been average for a decade. I don't think he's hit over .300 in 10 years. Again, for sure, but take away Cardinal stats, he's been average.

What about Aroldis Chapman

Important to remember that Jacob DeG is on the Mets lol. I think low wins is understandable

I would've liked White Sox Jose Abreu's chances if he'd been a little younger when he defected from Cuba. As is, he'll likely need 5 more very productive years to enter into the conversation. Without the Fountain of Youth, it's probably not in the cards.

Altuve > Bregman Judge > Stanton

Think Brett Gardner, Jorge Posada, or Nick Markakis might have a fringe shot at the hall? Probably not quite good enough

What about Anthony Rizzo and Aaron Judge and Kris Bryant

I like Zak Grienke but his rookies are too expensive already.

Jose Abreu?

You do not think Yadiar Molina is a for sure Hall of Famer? I would disagree! He is one of the best catchers to ever play. You should look at the Cardinals all-time hit list. He is a lot better than Buster Posey. Posey is overrated!

TJ number 2, de Grom is done. Won’t get in. IMHO.

If you listen quietly you can hear the cry’s of flippers realizing their gravy train has left the station. Their new career manufacturing kiddie porn awaits.

Michael Brantley?

Was the video sped up?

I just came here to give the video a thumbs down, as punishment for the click bait.

Love your videos. Super informative. They’d be so much better if you slowwwed downnn. You talk way too fast! If possible, that would be super duper.

So do all of you KZfaqrs just spontaneously get the same ideas or do you guys all watch one person and then make the same video? Because didn't baseball card investor do this video last week?

Shocked bogaerts isn’t on this list, over 30 WAR at 29, 1239 hits and 4 SS, .290 ba and 2 World Series. If he plays the way he has the last 3-4 years for the next 3-4, he’ll be 33 with 1900 hits and probably 6 SS, his war would also be at a minimum 44 at that point

Another thing also just because they might be a HOF dont mean their card is a good investment. If they dont have a big fanbase then not much interest in their cards.

These PSA counts coming out are shocking . Bol bol . Hachimura , luk Colby white wander Franco

Aaron judge u missed

Great click bait. Even better video

Lol Altuve cheated. The only people who think not are Astro Fans. If he gets in than Big Mac gets in.

Cmon man Fred Mcgriff isn't in the HOF and your gonna put Votto in? The same guy whose stats most resemble Derek Lee... that Joey Votto? Cmon man

If Jorge Posada not in the HOF then Molina shouldn’t
