Cincinnati Reds lack Hall of Fame players on current roster

It may seem premature to look at the rebuilding Cincinnati Reds to find their potential Hall of Fame players. Hall of Fame players regularly get 500 plate appearances. They also tend to have 100 RBIs, 200 hits, bat .300, belt 30 home runs or lead the league in batting average or stolen bases.

Everyone knows what a Hall of Fame player looks like. Albert Pujols is a Hall of Famer. So is Miguel Cabrera.

A former Red, Dave the Cobra Parker, is often mentioned as the ultimate fringe Hall of Famer. He is the benchmark as the best recent player that is not in the Hall of Fame.
