    Chase will probably get in in 20 years after he's off the writer's ballot. If he gets in 1st ballot that's a slap in the face to the many before him who didn't get in because they "didn't have the numbers".
    He's not on his first ballot - it's 4 or 5 I think. I believe he's trending upwards. I definitely would not consider him a first ballot HoFer.

    Rollins should be in before Utley.  Rollins’ numbers compared to other shortstops in the Hall are comparable or better.

    I mean, I think they should both be in. But Utley seems to have more momentum.

    They were both great fielders. Fuck Gold Gloves - those voters are clueless. We were super spoiled watching that double play tandem.

    Chase has got to be a HoFer.
    Chase led the league in one category that would matter over his career. While good and a decent WAR I don't see him making it in.

    Not even a GG.

    He did have 5 great years and 1 good one for the Phils. After that he was average to above average then fell off.
    Your last sentence literally describes a Hall of Famer.
    not igotid88’s boy.

    You know you've made it when you have haters, lol!
    no one hated Hunter Pence, except maybe the Royals when he hit .444 in the 2014 WS.

    I don’t think Utley should be in.  And really doesn’t make a lot of sense over Rollins if you look at stats.  In fact I think if you go by great for a short period Ryan Howard  should be in before Utley. I know I’m in the minority of Phillies fans as most have an obsession with Chase.  But that’s my take
