Jose Canseco was the 20th overall selection in the 2024 draft, chosen by the Red Sox.

He played through the 2043 season and slugged 660 HRs (say, "Hey!"), but did not get an immediate induction. Why? I guess because his name is Jose Canseco. The model, once again, imitates life.

Jose is a colorful chap and his career here is certainly deserving of enshrinement and the HOF is a livelier place with his presence.

Yes, his total of 660 HR is aMaysing (sorry). It ranks him 8th on the career list between Duke Snider and Chipper Jones.

He collected 1591 RBI (17th, 1 behind Mickey Mantle) and scored 1358 runs (28th, 1 place ahead of Joe Torre). He had 1957 base hits (89th) and stole 144 bases (a career high of 27 for a season...no 40-40, here).

He hit 50, or more, HR 5 times in his career, leading the league 3 times.

In his sophomore season of 2026 he posted career highs with 63 HR, 149 RBI, a .317 BA, and a .737 slg% which gave him a career best OPS of 1.105 and a career high npa OPS+ of 184. This was good enough to win him the MVP.

For his career he slashed 277/357/602, which makes for a npa OPS+ of 153.

He ranks 15th on the career slg list, one spot ahead of Willie Stargell, and 30th on the career OPS list, one spot behind Sam Crawford.

Canseco never won a WS. In his rookie season he hit 6 HR and collected 18 RBI in 10 post season games.

A 7 time All Star, Canseco enters the HOF at the age of 47 with one Gold Glove in his trophy case.

-------------------------------------------------

Jimmy Rollins becomes the 5th active RL player to gain induction. He also becomes the second second baseman to gain entry (he played a good deal at SS, but 2B is where he played more).

The Houston Astros used their 24th overall pick in 2028 to select Rollins.

Playing through the 2045 season, Rollins collected 2101 hits (65th), hit 200 HR on the dot, rapped 428 doubles (68th), scored 1219 runs (59th) and drove in 912. He had a career slash line of 265/320/419 for a npa OPS+ of 100. Rollins stole 353 bases in his career (30th).

Rollins enters the HOF in 2nd place on the All Time triples list with 96, one fewer than George Brett. He led the league 3 times in that category.

Rollins appeared in 4 post seasons and one WS. He came up empty in trying for a ring.

A three time All Star, Rollins enters the HOF at the age of 44.

Black Ink: 4 (15)
Gray Ink: 56 (77)

Gorilla Composite: 1.6 (2.5)

Using the standards in place for this HOF and applying them to RL, Jimmy Rollins has not yet attained HOF status.

-------------------------------------------------------------

Bob Watson was selected by the Nationals with the 17th overall pick in the 2019 draft.

He broke in by batting .353, socking 29 HRs, driving in 109 and posting a career high 202 hits and a career high 43 doubles to win the ROY.

Through the 2031 season, he was money to hit .300. Only once did he hit below .310.

When he retired following the 2039 season, Watson had amassed 2798 hits (9th, between George Davis and Hal Chase), 522 doubles (27th, 1 fewer than Vic Saier), 430 HR (53rd), and 49 triples. He collected 1513 career RBI (23rd, between Vic Saier and Ron Cey) and scored 1407 career runs (23rd, between Dave Kingman and Ron Cey). His career slash line of 304/365/511 (79th/*/*) is good for a npa OPS+ of 135.

Watson won a GG in the OF, but enters the HOF as a 1Bman. He appeared in 6 All Star games. He enters the HOF at the age of 51.
