That is my opinion. If he stays healthy, Biggio will go past 3000 hits next summer, probably in late June. He has more home runs and far more doubles and runs scored than Ryne Sandberg. Bidge has been an All Star at catcher as well as at second base. He has been the instigator of the Houston offense for 2 decades. One year Biggio hit 50 doubles and stole 50 bases, a feat only accomplished one other time in MLB history, by Tris Speaker. I believe he is a first ballot Hall of Famer.
I believe Jeff Bagwell will be elected to the Hall of Fame, but I think he will not be a first ballot electee. Bags has 449 home runs and has been the most prolific offensive player in Astros' history. His injury cut his career short, hindering his candidacy and allowing Biggio to be the first in the hallowed museum.
