# One of the original EBA Rule 6 superstars, Salazar earned 3x EBA MVP before coming over to the BBA at age 24 and winning 2 Silks in his first 3 years. An on-base maestro who ranks 12th all time in walks and still had enough pop to get 452 HR. Salazar easily clears the bar for LF in most areas, with the only slight blemish being a (relatively) low hit total which is more than balanced out by his walking prowess. A dominant player at his peak who held on respectably well in his later year (3.1 WAR at age 37 and 2.8 WAR at age 38).

I voted yes because I did take his EBA years into consideration.

I don't think he needs EBA to make it anyway.
