Miguel Cabrera on the 500th HR?

Separately...Scott Rolen elected to the Hall of Fame, Jeff Kent, snubbed again. Rolen played 3B, a traditional power spot. Kent played 2B, a traditional light-hitting spot.

Kent had considerably more HRs (377-316), more doubles (560-517), more triples (47-43), runs scored (1,320-1,211), considerably more RBIs (1,518 - 1,287), a higher BA (.290 to .281), and a higher slugging percentage (.500 to .490). He was an MVP, Rolen never was. Both were 5x all stars. Both played 17 seasons. Rolen made more than $30 million more than Kent, maybe that was it.
