How many of them will be first ballot HoFer Derek Jeter? All 5? Just Russell? Only Correa?

believe it or not chances are none of them will even make the hall of fame, much less be first ballot. But that wont stop Cubs fans from comparing the one who clearly doesn't belong in even that group (Russell) from saying "I had that comparison before the media stooges being paid by Ricketts to talk up this team did!"

So Kang belongs in that group but Russell does not?

Correa is in his own class.

When I said he reminded me of Jeter it was due to fluid defense and line drive hitting. At that time I never even considered saying he would be as good or better than Jeter.

To even toss that out as a ceiling for a player is unfair....if it happens, great...I would never claim that I thought he would be better....because then its just saying it to take claim to it one day, what I would like to be is WRONG that I missed his ceiling!
