Most Similar Batters:
1. Mike Lowell
2. Soriano
3. Eric Chavez
4. Javy Lopez
5. Adrian Beltre
6. Geoff Jenkins
7. Danny Tartabull
8. Wally Berger???
9. Mike Sweeney
10. Jorge Posada
Similar Batter through Age 30
1. Scott Rolen
2. Eric Chavez
3. Greg Luzinski
4. Shawn Green
5. Gary Sheffield
6. Carlos Lee
7. Carlos Beltran
8. Dale Murphy
9. Rudy York
10. Chipper Jones
The second list makes me think he could make the HOF if he finishes his career with some big years. The first makes me think he is facing a huge uphill battle to make it. The only ones on that list that have a shot at the HOF are catchers (I guess Soriano has an outside chance).<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Rolen and Lowell are good comparisons. He's got the career numbers of Rolen and Lowell's career years are like Rami's standards.
