Better then the overwheming majority of players,but not a HOF player....not even close...

Ron Santo was elected....the best all around third baseman in MLB for about 10 years....and it took 32 years after his retirement for baseball to finally recognize him.

Before Vinny Castillo in the HOF I would think about a whole lot of third basemen and Im not saying any of them SHOULD be in the HOFer or that they were equally disrespected as Santo was...but almost any of the would be a beter choice then Castillo....

Ron Cey,
Bill Madlock,
Al Rosen,
Daryl Evans,
Rich Allen,
Graig Nettles
Ken Boyer

Hank Aaron an all time great no matter where he played, was helped by the Launching Pad in Atlanta.... but Castilla does not have the years or the career numbers for the HOF....

He had ONE great season (98) and four other I'd call above average (which is not a knock). Overall, 1/3 of his seasons were good+ and the other 2/3s were clearly below average. He was a pretty peak with too much valley.

Most players never have the career VC had -- not even close -- but it wasn't special, historically-speaking. Nice comeback in 04, but he was done after 98.

It's not a slap not be HOF-worthy.

How is a player using steroids named the NL MVP (Ryan Braun) and a guy who had 7 great seasons no matter where he did better and also did it FAIRLY not going to be named to Cooperstown! Vinny you deserve it!! One of the best 3rd baseman defensively i have ever seen!!

He is not a Hall of Famer, but I do hope he gets at least 1 vote. He deserves at least 1 vote.
