What current players are locks for the HoF?
Albert Pujols
Mike Trout
Clayton Kershaw
Miguel Cabrera
Justin Verlander
Max Scherzer
Zach Greinke
Yadier Molina
Not Yet: I love Joey Votto and he has all the metrics, but he's a 1B with 295 dingers and 966 RBIs. Chris Davis has that many HRs in one less season.
Molina probably isn't a lock. I would put him in the maybe category with Votto, Longoria, and Posey. McCutchen is closer to that group than you might guess off hand too.
Then you're down to the guys who are on a clear track. Betts is already at 40.2 fWAR at 28. Barring injury, he'll get there. Sale's about 2 strong years away.
