How do you feel about Votto?

Many fans claim that he’s easily the best hitter that the Reds have ever had. I don’t agree with that. He’s easily the best OBP player that the Reds have ever had. I don’t think that he’s the most valuable player that the Reds have ever had either. I think that his Career number averages will continue to fall over the rest of his career. I think that after he passes a few more milestones that he will probably end up a Hall Of Famer. That Career OBP is just so good.

Yeah, usually there's three things that get you the HOF nod: winning, a gaudy definitive stat, or an "IT" factor. Joey checks one of the boxes, so he'll be remembered as a great. But without the postseason success, he's fighting an uphill battle. He'll have his number retired by the Reds, but not so sure about the baseball HOF.
