I probably put more stock in OPS+ & ERA+, I like to see a player who consistently outhits his peers. Counting stats are always a good starting point, but I'd rather put in a guy with 2200 H, 350 HR, and a 150 OPS+ over a shorter career than a guy with 2800 H, 450 HR, but a 120 OPS+.

I also think the OP's point about hearing a lot about them in the BNN stories helps - HOF should be for guys who in a way transcend the game, in my opinion. I'd rather have a guy was consistently a big deal than a guy who just accumulated without really making a huge name for themselves (this is more of a real life thing than OOTP, but I think you know what I mean).
