Is Buster Posey on Track to Being a Hall of Famer?

With Buster Posey out for the season with hip surgery, all baseball fans alike question Posey’s Hall of Fame case. The lifelong Giant has a curious career; Posey has a slew of awards with underwhelming stats. Over his ten years of service, he has 1,276 hits, 246 doubles, 635 RBIs, an impressive .306 batting average, and 133 home runs in 1,144 career games. Additionally, Posey’s home run numbers has been steadily declining since 2014, basing at only five in 2018. However, Posey has four Silver Sluggers, with the most recent coming in 2017. The three time World Series champ also won the Rookie of the Year in 2010 and the MVP and Comeback Player of the Year in 2012, to go along with six All Star appearances and a Gold Glove. Award wise, Posey is in very good shape at this point of his career. Posey is still far, but he stills needs to compile more awards and milestones if he wants to be enshrined among the immortals in Cooperstown.
