Jeff Kent is a strong candidate from where I sit, but his position sure reads like sour grapes to me. Who or what are "non-voting stat folks" that "keep comparing those players to players already voted in from generations past"?

Also, it's highly misleading to write that Kent "racked up 377 home runs (most all-time for a second baseman)." He hit 351 homers as a secondbaseman, 17 as a thirdbaseman, seven as a firstbaseman, one as a shortstop, and one as a designated hitter. It's a perfectly impressive amount without distorting the record.

The next highest, Robbie Canó, has 316 as a secondbaseman, and he clearly cheated, so it's not like 351 isn't plenty.
