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.

santo is not a hall of famer, nor will he ever be. ramirez has a better shot and unless he has a long career, i don't think he's a hall of famer either.
5 gold gloves not withstanding, in a couple years, ramirez will be considered the cubs best thirdbaseman ever. deservedly so.
