I’d love to see it, but there’s probably only a slim chance of it actually happening.

Salvy is fine, never really been great. He solid tho
Nah, as nice a guy as he is, he would need to have several more years at 2024-levels. Otherwise he’d land in the “Hall of Very Good.”
Holy crap he might have a chance if he gets to 300
By traditional metrics, he actually stacks up nicely to some other Hall catchers. If he goes another few years, I can see him getting in
Right now at this point in his career he’s Yadier Molina **Lite** edition in terms of his hall of fame resume. The batting is better than Yadi ever was, but he still needs a few more years of great defense to make the hall of fame.
Yea, but can he gun down Billy hamilton….
Salvy is one of those players where you wish he was on your team, and you hate that he isn’t, but you still respect the player and how good he is. Give him a few more years of solid production, a few more awards for the trophy case, and he’ll be a lock.
If thats the case, put Jorge Posada in the Hall right now
That’s certainly a take
I never thought about it before, but more hits than games played Is a crazy stat. Maybe it isn’t but it’s crazy to me
No C with 300 HR isn’t in.
If he gets there, they’re making an exception out of him
Also,.if Ted fucking Simmons is in Salvy’s in
I don’t understand why people don’t think he’s a HOFer. He has all the accolades to be one when it’s all said and done. Just because he’s not on a big market team and never left Kansas is stupid. But if he was on a big market team like the Dodgers or Yankees, everyone would say he’s a certified future HOFer
I feel like people who don’t think Salvy is a hall of Famer haven’t watched him a lot. It’s hard to watch the Royals sometimes, but Salvy has been so good for so long, and you guys hate on him because some advanced equation you don’t really understand overvalues how important it is to trick the umpire.
As a twins fan if Joe Mauer can get in with only 1 playoff win to his name, Salvy is lock
I can see Perez getting it pretty easily even if he just has a few average-ish seasons until he retires.
He’s absolutely a hall of farmer
He’s been one of the best catchers in baseball for over a decade. 9 all star games and 5 silver slugger awards in 13 years. If he plays 2 more years, gets to 300hrs, and makes a 10th all star game, he’s 100% a lock.
I think there’s a chance, especially if he can continue hitting well. He was consistently one of the best hitting catchers across his career and a leader in the clubhouse.
Obviously he’s not a perfect candidate, and there are fielding issues that aren’t measured consistently, but voters could just see the gold glove tally and choose not to look any deeper.
I think there’s a chance voters could elect him late, if not he’s definitely the type of player a veterans committee would elect. I mean, he’s more deserving than Harold Baines. (Obviously that comparison shouldn’t be the metric(
He’ll be locked HoF if he has another World Series win, 300 HR, 1000 RBI, and 2000 H.
He’ll get 300 homers, 1000 RBI, 2k hits isn’t out of the realm of possibility either. Absolutely a HOF catcher.
I hope he makes the hall, I feel like winning a World Series and post season success should be more impactful in HOF voting. an interesting comp is JT realmuto, who I don’t quite think is a HOFer yet
Not out of the question.
He’ll moonwalk into the hall.
SalP is gonna end his career with nearly twice as many HR as Molina, a higher OPS, and more RBI.. plus they will likely end with a similar career WAR. Not to mention he won 5 Gold Gloves and he missed two of his prime years due to injury/COVID… hes for sure getting in.
Hall of Good Players
Hall of Fame? If he wants in, he can buy a ticket like the rest of us.
Cooperstown bound in my book
It was like 3yrs ago and nobody thought he had a shot. This makes me so happy.
Couple more seasons like last year and he pushes himself into the top 10 in hits and rbis for catchers. Hard to argue against first ballot especially with a world series mvp and regular season accolades.
If Jorge Posada isn’t then Salvy shouldn’t. But they both should imo.
I think he’ll get in as a response to the lack of catchers in the hall, along with everyone else that comes close as a catcher over the next decade or so. He could probably make it without that kind of adjustment, but I think we’ll start seeing catchers voted in more often than we used to with Salvy and Yady being the first of them.
I’d be surprised if he made it
Pleasently surprised tho
Definite HOF player.
Slim chance? Naw he’s got a good chance. He’s been good for a longtime
If I am a hall of fame voter, I would vote for Perez. I think he has been as strong a natural leader as anyone in baseball.
And to completely destroy my newfound popularity in Kansas City, I would also vote Yadier Molina in as well.
And to destroy my newfound popularity in St. Louis, I’m a Cubs fan.
No one in Missouri likes me.
Most deserved to go in the HOF. Dude is a beast & a great person.
I think he deserves it, which means Posey is definitely a lock if they say he’s in now.
Uh no? Posada was a no, Munson was a no.., the war isn’t going to get to Mauer, posey or Molina level even because he’s mostly a dh. So no. Hall of very good.

Cal should have won Silver Slugger this year
