There are quite a few with a higher career OBP who aren't in the HoF. Here is the all time list:

Currently he ranks 136 on the all time list. I personally would never compare him to Henderson as I agree with you but going by the statistics I just don't see it as nothing he did is really hall worthy outside of the steal percentage and total stolen bags.
On a side note, I had no clue Berkman had such a high OBP. I think Rock is the most perfect borderline candidate I have ever seen to be honest with you. It could really go either way. In the end I don't see him getting in because the upcoming classes are incredibly stacked with the roiders still on the list which hurts him. The other reason, and this one sucks, is that I am sure some of the voters will hold the cocaine shit against him. These writers hold grudges and play the asshole card more than any group I've seen. Another issue I have is that he only broke 100 runs 6 times which is incredibly low for someone considered the second best leadoff hitter of all time.
I see him as a rich mans Kenny Lofton who was a great player but not Hall worthy based on the stats. Really close call but in the end the hall has to remain for the elite in my view but I respect others saying he gets in as I see how close it is.

They are definitely on fire. Best record in MLB for the month (16-5). The amazing thing about that game last night was after the 5 run 1st inning, Texas didn't get a hit the rest of the game.

I want my 55 seconds back. Quite possibly the worst thing I have seen in awhile.
Anyways, I'm still scratching my head on the Zobrist deal. We gave up some good pitching prospects for a guy that we don't really need and likely won't even be starting come October.

This would explain a lot. And is just so lolworthy of the train wreck we are.

I honestly don't see Yost benching Infante. He seems to be pretty big on him for some reason.

Just read an article where Yost said he has no intention of replacing infante. Basically zobrist will be in left until Gordon comes back, and then he will just be used as a replacement when he is resting players. Doesn't seem like that will help much in october

This season cant get over quick enough. Oh the lonely life of being a Mariners fan. Football season might be rough too.
The Tigers appear to be lining up for a sale, as Jayson Stark of ESPN.com tweets that the team is telling rivals that they are "rebooting." Detroit is reportedly ready to listen on David Price, Yoenis Cespedes, and other pieces.
