Good times.
Neither should be in the Hall of Fame, if we are being brutally honest. But we will never get that out of a Cards fan. Any slight criticism of Yadi and Cardinal fans FLIP out.
Obviously both should be in. Thats a very Grant Cohn-esque hot take on your part.
Its not really that much of a hot take. If you believe in sabermetrics, both of them fall short. If you believe in counting or traditional stats, Yadi falls very short. I actually think based on the fact that he has an MVP, Posey has a much better case than Yadi does, but both would be on the outside looking in if their careers ended today.
Regardless, neither are the slam dunks that people think they are on the surface. The fact that people claim Yadi a 1st ballot HOF lock is absurd.
I think Yadi will eventually get in, but dont think he should.
