Chris (Biloxi): Is Chipper Jones on a HOF track in your opinion? Scott Rolen? Any other active 3bman not named Alex?
Jay Jaffe: I think last year put Chipper over the top in the minds of some voters, because he has remained an incredible offensive force even as his own body has turned against him. He's got the MVP, the All-Stars, the ring... it's a robust candidacy.
Rolen I'm much less convinced. He's had one good year out of his last four, and while people underestimate how valuable his early career performance was, guys who stop being plus players in their early 30s tend not to fare well.
