I'm not sold on Rice at all. His numbers just aren't very impressive.

.298, 382 HR, 2452 H, barely slugged over .500 (.502). He does have one MVP. He was a solid hitter but nothing really stands out. It's not like he has a really high batting average, a lot of home runs a lot of stolen bases or a particularly good glove (no gold gloves, also, weak defensive position). He was a really good player who had a lot of really good seasons but definitely not HOF worthy in my book.

He's similar to Don Mattingly. Great player, had a few really good years, but in the end the numbers just don't add up.
