Scott Rolen should just start his own Hall of Fame

Yesterday, the 2018 class of the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum was announced, and to the surprise of nobody, Chipper Jones was inducted on the first ballot. And deservedly so—the career-long Atlanta Braves third baseman (although he came up as a shortstop and played two seasons in left field, he made 82.8% of his career appearances at the hot corner) is now the fifth-best player at his position by Wins Above Replacement in the Hall—Jones trails only Mike Schmidt, Eddie Mathews, Wade Boggs, and George Brett.

Similarly to little surprise, Scott Rolen did not make the Hall.
