The other day, Chris McCoskey of the Detroit News wrote a column on Ian Kinsler speculating about his Hall of Fame chances. Have you thought about Kinsler as a potential Hall of Famer? Me neither. But the idea isn't actually all that preposterous. McCoskey writes of the Detroit Tigers second baseman:
Kinsler, by the end of the season -- maybe by August, the way he's going -- will have amassed 1,000 runs, 200 stolen bases, 1,500 hits and 200 home runs in his career.
With his single and two-run home run Tuesday, he’s at 1,551 hits.
