Jim is joined by Adam Darowski of Sports Reference to break down the HOF candidacy of former MLB third baseman Buddy Bell. First, they discuss Bell's elite advanced metrics, which all point to him being on par with the average Hall of Fame third basemen (7:20). Next, they cover Bell's only season where he finished in the top 10 in the AL MVP vote, how he qualifies to be called Brooks Robinson lite, and whether he belongs on Defensive Third Basemen Mount Rushmore (17:52). Finally, they rank Bell among the best third basemen of his era (46:00), before making a final call on whether he belongs in the Baseball Hall of Fame (58:14).
