The following seem to me to be the only players worth considering that are entering their tenth season, in 2006, and thus would make them eligible for the Hall:
Todd Helton
Miguel Tejada
Bartolo Colon
Richie Sexson
I know both fell off a little last year, but Helton and Tejada seem every bit on their way to the Hall so far. I'm a little bit skeptical about Colon. Even though he has the Cy Young Award, and I believe he is the winningest pitcher since 2000, and among the top three since 1998, I don't think he'll play enough years to rack up some impressive career stats. Sexson has enough power that he could reach 500 home runs, or he could end up like Dave Kingman.
What are your thoughts on these 4 players, and are there any others entering their tenth year that ares shaping up to be considerations for the Hall?
