Next up should be John Donaldson, but I don’t know enough about him to discuss his candidacy for the Hall of Fame. He played a few seasons in the Negro National League for three decades , but his stats, for the most part, aren’t part of the numbers that made it to pages of Baseball Reference. Next would be Carlos Gonzalez, but I don’t think many of us would consider him a Hall of Famer. He played 12 seasons, hitting .285/.343/.500 with 234 home runs, 1432 hits and a 24.
Even if you ignore the help he got from the thin air in Denver, I don’t see many voting for him. Career numbers are here. Curtis Granderson played 16 years in the MLB , hitting .249/.337/.465 with 344 home runs, 153 seasons and a 47.2 bWAR. He got MVP votes three times , made three All-Star teams and had one Silver Slugger. Granderson topped out at a 7.8 bWAR in 2007, hitting .302/.361/.552 with 23 home runs and 23 triples. He had bWAR above 5.0 three times.
