Sal has a 24 bWar and 12 fWar (FG introduces that idiotic “pitch framing” metric a coupe years ago that punished Sal and elevated guys like Posey and Grandal).
The avg HOF catcher has a bWar of 52. There are 16 members. So Sal needs to double his career production, the second part starting at age 31. Unlikely to say the least.
But if he adds 3-4 more ASG and gold gloves, he’s got a solid case for sure. And that is do-able.
