I almost ended up voting yes as long as he plays a few more years ... but ended up at the no, great career but not hall of fame ... he could get back into the yes category with a couple strong years, but just padding the numbers won't cut it for me.

Interesting. It seemed like he might be in decline when he went to Seattle but he's really turned it around the last two years and seems to be back on a HOF track. Jeff Kent hasn't gotten much HOF love, but he played during the heart of the steroid era, was a defensive liability and was notoriously surly, which probably isn't helping his chances. I have to think Cano will have a better chance than Kent. If he has 3-4 more years along the lines of last year and this one (let's say somewhere in between), I can't see how he doesn't get in.

This. If he can continue to hit in Seattle with similar years to this year then yes he should get in.

I think his stats/talent blows Craig Biggio away, so I voted for "needs a few more years to pad his stats."
