He's at about 8000 PA, has a 132 OPS+, 390 HR to date, almost 1200 RBI, more than 1200 R, nearly 2000 H, and a reputation as a great fielder. A plus defensive centerfielder with just under 400 HR and a 132 OPS+ over 8000 PA is HoF-worthy in my eyes. If he can get to 2000 H it will help a lot, as will 400 HR. He's got 8 Gold Gloves. I think 400 HR, 2000 H, 1200 RBI + R, 8 GG, and a 132 OPS+ over 8000 PA is HoF-worthy, so 390 HR, 1196 or so RBI, 1200+ R, a 132 OPS+, 1950ish H, and 7950ish PA is also HoF-worthy. His .285/.376/.527 slash line is really good for a plus-defensive centerfielder I think he needs to play one more season.

The 3 others that you named all have well over 500 HR's each and are a lock for the H.O.F. I think you would have to compare Edmonds to Dwight Evans who also had 8 Gold, 385 HR's, almost 2500 hits and 3 time All-Star, yet did not get into the Hall. I would have to say no.

It was awesome to see him play in St. Louis for 8 years. I think he’s just short, but he’s a great player. It was awesome to see him play in St. Louis for 8 years.
