Brian Roberts

Spending all but his final season in the majors with the Baltimore Orioles, Brian Roberts had a productive career twice leading the American League in Doubles and had another where he was the Stolen Base leader.  He would crack both the 1,500 Hit and 30 bWAR mark and should be allowed on to the ballot.

Brad Penny

Brad Penny was a member of the Florida Marlins team that won the 2003 World Series.  Penny went 2 and 0 in the Fall Classic, but would later have better individual seasons as a member of the Los Angeles Dodgers, where he would be selected for two All Star Games and would finish third in Cy Young voting in 2007.

72. Bobby Abreu

While Bobby Abreu is not considered by many to be a Hall of Fame baseball player, the fact remains that he is a very patient hitter with a high On Base Percentage who was a master of working the pitcher’s count.  He would finish his career a shade under 60 bWAR and 2,500 Hits and had a much better career than the average baseball fan realized.

Alfonso Soriano

Alfonso Soriano went to seven straight All Star Games (one of which he was named the All Star Game MVP) and was a fan favourite for many.  Soriano is a member of the 2,000 Hit Club, the 400 Home Run Club, has for Silver Slugger Awards, a career .500 Slugging Percentage and a Stolen Base title, however the Hall of Fame might elude him, and perhaps by a wide margin.
