Probably a top five 3rd baseman of all-time. Easy HOFer.
What a fantastic career. Damn good hitter (.286/.339/.480, 116 OPS+ over 12130 PA) and one of the greatest defensive 3rd basemen of all-time, if not one of the greatest defensive players period. And not many players can say they were productive for two decades. He only had one year with the Sox, but he was an absolute joy to watch in that year (.321/.365/.553 with the usual Gold Glove caliber defense) and I really wished the Sox could have held onto him. Dude continued to play at an All-Star level for another 5-6 years.

Definitely a Hall of Famer, probably a 1st or 2nd ballot easily.
if he's "definitely a Hall of Famer", then why wait a ballot? the "1st ballot" concept is dumb. if you think someone's worthy of being enshrined, just vote for them.
