NONE of these guys are legit HoF candidates.

Scott Rolen should be a HoF. Outstanding bat with elite defence. Over the past 50 years the only 3B who have been better are A-Rod (If you consider him a 3B), Schmidt, Boggs, Chipper Jones, Brett, Beltre, and Miggy. Considering A-Rod and Miggy didn't play 3B for more than half their career, you can pretty safely call Rolen one of the 5 or 6 best 3B in the past 50 years.
If you go back a little further you have Brooks Robinson, but that's it.
