Lance Berkman was the third “Killer B” of the Houston Astros, though it was his Comeback Player of the Year season with St. Louis (that also netted him his only World Series Ring) that he might hold most dear. 

Berkman’s overall Hall of Fame candidacy is an interesting one as he is a six-time All-Star, finished in the Top Ten in MVP voting six times, and put up very good power numbers with 366 Home Runs, 1,234 RBIs, and a .934 OPS. His overall numbers, complete with a 52.0 bWAR, are good, but with poor defensive numbers, a relatively low profile amongst most fans, and what is still likely to be a loaded ballot, Berkman will have more trouble than he should to get into Cooperstown.

“The Greek God of Walks”, Kevin Youkilis is also a “God” at Fenway as the popular infielder is a two time World Series Champion as a member of the Red Sox. Youkilis finished as high as third in MVP voting (2008) and he was a three time All Star as well as a one time Gold Glove winner.

Known mostly for his speed, Juan Pierre would lead his respective league in Stolen Bases three times and would also lead the NL in Hits twice. Pierre, a member of the 2004 World Series Champion, Florida Marlins is also a member of the 2,000 Hit Club.

Defecting from his native Cuba so that he could join the Majors, Jose Contreras may not have had the career so many expected from him, but he is a World Series Champion with White Sox and made an All Star team in 2006.
