Chris Carpenter

Chris Carpenter
Once Chris Carpenter oiled his trade with the St. Louis Cardinals, he became a bonafide ace. Carpenter captured the National League Cy Young Award in 2005 and was the runner up and second runner up for the Award in 2009 and 2006 respectively. The three time All Star was often decimated by injuries, which took away a large chunk of his career and forced him to an early retirement. With a career bWAR of 35.5 and realistically only three really good seasons, it is hard to make a strong case for Cooperstown.

Carlos Zambrano

Carlos Zambrano
Carlos Zambrano spent all but one season with the Chicago Cubs and was a three time All Star who led the National League in Wins in 2006. A versatile Pitcher with a varying array of pitches, Zambrano was also a very good hitting Pitcher who earned the Silver Slugger three times. The Venezuelan retired with a decent record of 132 and 91 with 1,637 Strikeouts and a bWAR of 38.2. He did have a decent career, but it is difficult to envision Zambrano getting past his first year of eligibility.

Carlos Lee

Carlos Lee
Carlos Lee had a decent career as a slugger, with over 350 Home Runs and 1,300 Runs Batted In and earned the Silver Slugger Award twice. Although Lee had good power numbers, he was often forgotten as he only made the top ten in that category once and never made the top ten in OPS and bWAR, though the latter was hampered by his poor defense.
