The newer guard will point to a relatively low on-base percentage and, as a result, an OPS that didn't crack .800.My guess is that Rollins will have enough support to stay on the ballot, perhaps for all 10 years of his eligibility, and he'll be a solid case for the Veterans Committee. Many, many people think Alan Trammell ought to join them, and Omar Vizquel may not get there, but he has a heck of a case.The offensive quality he has in common with Smith, Vizquel and Aparicio is that they could all flat out steal a base.

Trammell’s numbers compare very favorably to the average for Hall of Fame shortstops. Rollins’ 80.0 BsR is first amongst shortstops since 2000, ahead of 2nd place Jose Reyes by 23.6 BsR. I’m sure they mean something. I’ll admit I loved watching Jimmy for more than a decade and a half. Rollins hasn’t reached, nor will he, 3,000 hits, 500 home runs, or any incredible combination of the two statistics that would make him a shoe in to the hall. Since then a number of very talented and extremely productive players have played for the Phillies, many still active with the team, having yet to hang up their cleats. As that pertains to Jimmy Rollins, a knee-jerk reaction becomes a complicated debate when considered carefully. So, if you think Jimmy Rollins should be in the Hall of Fame, so should Alan Trammell.
I need to leave out George Wright as he was elected as an executive, not a player, and I’d like to leave out John “Monte” Ward because his numbers are an outlier on the low side, he played his whole career in the 19th century, and he played mulitple positions.When compared to the average offensive numbers for Hall of Fame shortstops, Jimmy comes up short in most of them. So what are we supposed to make of that?Remember, merely being a unique player doesn’t make you a Hall of Famer. Here goes: He finished with 470 stolen bases and 231 home runs. Pete Rose remains banned due to gambling, many think the writers will never allow prolific hitters like Mark McGwire, Barry Bonds, Sammy Sosa, and Raphael Palmiero entrance due to issues each of these players had with performance enhancing drugs. Jimmy Rollins bats during an June 2015 game against Buster Posey and the San Francisco Giants.
He has been a very exciting player, but his achillies heel has been his ability to get on base at a good rate. Whether he finishes his run on the ballot with a speech at Cooperstown or just a plaque on the Phillies Wall of Fame remains to be seen. Alan Trammel, a shortstop for the Tigers, accumulated more than 60 fWAR in his career, but has yet to be voted in by the BBWAA.Rollins’ numbers stack up well to against already inducted shortstops, but what about against his generation, his peers, those players with similar advantages and disadvantages to him? Rollins is the all-time hit leader in Philly As eluded to before, one of the big things that will work in J Roll’s favor is his legendary status in Philly.
Bring it on. I guess those should have been inside the park home runs.The fact is Rollins got more out of his 5'8" frame than just about anybody not named Altuve or Morgan.I always go back to this when the SS position is brought up. Your … Jimmy Rollins is probably one of the fifty greatest shortstops of all time, but he's in the bottom half of that group and nowhere near the Hall of Fame.
Different era, but Rollins was almost as good of a fielder, better hitter (more hits, home runs and RBIs in 2 fewer seasons). Jimmy Rollins makes strong case for the Hall of Fame by Scott Butler 5/19/13 Jimmy Rollins scored his 1,200th run on Friday, making him the fourth player since 1921 to score at least 1,200 runs with 400 or more steals.

Look at Jamie Moyer. When looking at players for the Hall, we have to be careful of career totals.
Jimmy isn't one of those guys, but he's also not one you dismiss out of hand. And how many other shortstops in history are in the 400-200 Club? BsR includes not only statistics on stolen bases, but also taking the extra base, not being thrown out on the bases, as well as other aspects to base running. SportsJournalists.com.
At 34 years old, the shortstop has time to play a few more seasons, so when evaluating him for the HOF, remember that his current statistics are not set in stone.
But I’m convinced of one thing: you can’t find a single shortstop in history who did all the stuff he’s done.
