2nd baseman Ryne Sandberg is deservedly in the Hall of Fame. So is Roberto Alomar.  On the other hand, Bobby Grich, Lou Whitaker, and Jeff Kent are not, and it's unlikely that Robinson Cano will ever make it for off-the-field reasons.  Chase Utley has a chance, and Jose Altuve is on track. 

We compared all of these players stats and careers and it's amazing how much alike their careers were or have been so far.  Only 20 2B have ever been elected to the HOF.  

Gordon makes a great point that the historical HOF era committees should vote more regularly than every few years. 

Chase Utley did not play his entire career with the Phillies as he played four different seasons for the Dodgers.
