The GGs were a joke (like Jeter's) and he was just an average hitter for half of a 14 year career (very short career by HOF standards).
Rolen was an elite defender. Mattingly was not an elite defender, but was a Yankee.
Mattingly had the talent to be a HOF, but injuries probably kept that from happening.
