Runs- 1112...27th all time among 2B
Hits- 2297...17th all time among 2B
Doubles- 493...7th all time among 2B
HR- 295...3rd all time among 2B---Kent record at 377 he is prob a lock to pass
RBI- 1146...11th all time among 2B
BA- .305...top 15 or so...coup guys who barely have at bats listed
SLG- .497...3rd all time among 2B behind Kent(.500) and Hornsby(.577)
OPS- 8th...but like .04 away from 5th spot...so top 10 safe bet...
WAR- 64.3...16th all time among 2B...5th place is around 80...so he could get up around that range...
2x GG
5x SS(2nd most ever by 2B)
8x AS
6 top 10 MVP finishes...4 in the top 5 (no wins)
1x AS MVP
1 Ring-bad postseason numbers though so that wont really be a talking point.
i know this isnt a "stat" or anything...but from 07-16 he only missed 26 games...that is impressive and important knowing you could plug an elite player in the middle of your lineup every day...played 156+ 10str yrs...
he is 33...has SIX years left on his current contract...isnt really slowing down as of now...i know that can come at any time...
but his counting stats most likely will end up having him as probably the 2nd best offensive 2B ever is my guess, seems like he could make a run to get around top 3 in Runs scored...top 3 in hits, top 3 in doubles, 1st in homers and rbi among 2B...

He is behind Kent in everything but Average and WAR. I wouldn't say he is on now. I do expect him to continue to play at a high level and make the Hof. As you said, he is only 33 and should have a lot of production left. If he winds up where you project him, he will be a 1st ballot Hofer.
