I can't wait for HGM get in here....I feel confident he will agree with me.

Wait.....I might have to say yes.....

Edmonds is an interesting OF; a guy who was generally regarded as an excellent fielder by his peers (he’s won multiple Gold Glove Awards in CF), but is sometimes considered overrated by the gatekeepers of advanced defensive metrics. The one item not up for debate is the quality of his bat, as his career OPS+ of 132 places him squarely among a group of several Hall of Fame outfielders.

He's a pretty good guy but might miss out on the HOF, but will always be on the "Hall of Very Good".

Jim Edmonds should be in the hall of suck!

I do.

He's more than deserving, but I fear he has little to no chance. He's a top-10 center fielder of all time. Off the top of my head, Ty Cobb, Willie Mays, Mickey Mantle, Tris Speaker, Joe DiMaggio, Ken Griffey and Billy Hamilton rank ahead of him. After that group, Edmonds is right there with Duke Snider.

Upon hearing the news that the Milwaukee Brewers are close to signing aging outfielder Jim Edmonds, a couple of thoughts came to mind. My first thought was “I can’t believe he’s still playing.” I then thought about the Hall of Fame case for Edmonds, and was admittedly unsure about it before I looked into it.

I went back and looked at the career Wins Above Replacement Player for a bunch of well-known outfielders. I didn’t have much of a scientific method for picking the names, I was basically aiming for guys who were considered excellent outfielders without being Willie Mays-level elite. Some of them are in the Hall of Fame, the others are in the “Hall of Very Good”.
