He puts Barry at 65%. That’s short of induction, but would be a GREAT number, virtually guaranteeing his entrance next year. Larkin is one of those players that people will look more closely at after the first ballot and then say, “oh, yeah! of course!”
2. Barry Larkin. Like Alomar, he’s a 12-time All-Star who hit .300 nine times. A superb shortstop with power (first one to reach 30-30) before A-Rod, Nomar and the new era of power-hitting shortstops. Also, a captain, World Champion and Clemente and Lou Gehrig award winner. Projected percentage: 65.
