April 12, 20179 yr With Pat Burrell, the greatest baseball player of all time, eligible for the Hall of Fame for the first time this year, it got me thinking... If any Marlins' career ended now, would he make it to the Hall of Fame?
April 12, 20179 yr I predict one day Andre Dawson, Mike Piazza, Tim Raines, Pudge, and Ichiro all make it to the Hall of fame
April 12, 20179 yr I don't think we will see a player going into the Hall of Fame wearing a Marlins hat for at least 20 or 30 years at the absolute minimum.
April 12, 20179 yr Author I don't think we will see a player going into the Hall of Fame wearing a Marlins hat for at least 20 or 30 years at the absolute minimum. Sheffield?
April 12, 20179 yr If anyone gets in with a marlins hat anytime soon.... it's going to be Miguel Cabrera. He became a great player here, won a World Series, batting titles and was a premier hitter. I can see it being the same thing as Gary Carter and Andre Dawson- you were great elsewhere, but you made your name here. Piazza seems to have been the one exception over the years , and I think that's because of his distaste for how he was treated and traded by the dodgers since 1998 and his love for NY- the 9/11 home run only sealed the deal, the story of that day can be told by looking at his plaque. Outside of Cabs? Stanton and Yelich are the only two, and only if they rattle off a few quality healthy and good seasons. Something like the following average for 8 years. Stanton- 35+HR/100+RBI/ .270+ BA Yelich- 25hr/90RBI/.300 BA
April 12, 20179 yr I think Cabrera is now more of a Tiger than a Marlin even with the world series win here. 5 seasons here compared to 10 over there and he hasn't sucked over there either so yeah.
April 12, 20179 yr If Ichiro plays til 50 and all with the Marlins, maybe he can go in as a Marlin Seriously? Nope. 100% Mariner.
April 12, 20179 yr He'd have to get to 6,000 hits in Miami to go in as a Marlin. Getting to 3,000 isn't his only career accomplishment. He has plenty of others and they all came in Seattle.

April 12, 20179 yr It is all a moot point anyway because he isn't going to play in Miami until he's 50 I'm pretty sure Translation: You lost this debate and would like to move on without admitting defeat.
April 12, 20179 yr Translation: You lost this debate and would like to move on without admitting defeat. Will it make your day if I admit defeat? Geez man I said "maybe" originally and then said "99.9%" chance he'll go in as a Mariner. Not like I said he'll for sure go in as a Marlin. I stand by 99.9 percent because that isn't a guarantee, just a very likely scenario.

I may have misinterpreted what the 99.9% number meant though.
April 12, 20179 yr Only current guys that have a chance are Stanton, Yelich, and Capps. I am 99.9% certain that Capps is gone.
April 12, 20179 yr If anyone gets in with a marlins hat anytime soon.... it's going to be Miguel Cabrera. I think he will be a HOFer but not with Marlins.
April 12, 20179 yr I think he will be a HOFer but not with Marlins. 99.9% chance it won't be with the Marlins unless he somehow returns and plays a few more years in Miami. Even then unlikely.
