Is Aramis a HOFer? Because Santo basically is.
Actually, Aramis is Mr. Consistent, and if he continues with the 30HR 100RBI thing, he <i>will</i> make the Hall. Still, will he match Santo's 5 Gold Gloves?
For some reason, 3rd baseman, historically, tend to drop off a cliff in their early 30's. I don't know why. Even HOFers like Eddie Mathews, Home Run Baker, and even Santo himself ran into a brick wall. I hope Aramis plows through the wall, continues being a great hitter, and brings home a title for the Cubs, thus leaving no doubt as to him being the greatest Cubbie 3rd sacker ever.

There's nothing better than to realize that the good things about youth don't end with youth itself. It's a matter of realizing that life can be renewed every day you get out of bed without baggage. It's tough to get there, but it's better than the dark thoughts. -Lance
