through 32 years of age, he has almost 2200.
If he does, is he invited into the hall of fame?
Doesn't seem fair if he would be, a guy with a career 31 WAR at this point shouldn't be in my opinion....even though there are guys with that low that have been voted in.
Renteria is 34, with 2,185 hits currently.
I'm going with no - his range has declined, and I don't see him playing full-time from age 36 on
No way in hell.
He won't. If he somehow does, I think he will make the Hall of Fame, but would, of course, not be deserving.
I just noticed that he was born in 76....I was looking at his BR page where it said his age last year of 32....which is of course his opening day age.Quote:

he will probably get himself up to 2300 this year....and maybe 2-3 more years of around 130 hits a year....and then that might be it.
I don't think he will, but he could somehow reach it.
Last year at this time he was 32. Now he's 33.Quote:

They show their "seasonal age." Hover over the "Age" column label on the page, and a pop up will show saying "Player's age at midnight of June 30th that year."Quote:

And without getting to 3000 hits, he's not within a mile of the Hall.
only what, 25-30 have ever hit 3000? if he gets there, he should go into HOF. I doubt he'll get there. 3000 for me is a solid benchmark for entry.
Everyone that has reached 3,000 hits has incredible credentials outside of that. The weakest member is Lou Brock (who I would not put in my Hall of Fame), and Renteria is much worse than Brock.Quote:

so few have done it throughout the history of the game i'm not at issue with it. its a benchmark stat....yes i know you could find obscure stats that fewer have done but hits is a benchmark stat. I understand your point and in general I agree...but with hits, i'd put anyone who gets to 3K in.Quote:

Garrett Anderson for HOF!
