Paul Goldschmidt is arguably the best offensive player in the game right now. He’s a perennial triple crown candidate and finished second in MVP voting two of the last three seasons. There is no doubt that he will be the focal point of the Diamondbacks’ “evolution” this season.
At just 28 years old and with four full seasons under his belt, it’s way to early to say he’s a Hall of Famer. But, when compared to the great first basemen through four full seasons, his numbers are as good or better than any of them were at this point in their careers.
