Mostly I'm bored, but I put together this comparison for fun. This is thru their age-28 seasons:
Bregman (7 Seasons - 805 Games):
140 HR 818 Hits 207 Doubles 490 RBI 512 Runs 440 BB 36 SB 137 OPS+ 30.5 WAR 2 AS 1 SS 1 MVP Runner-Up (Should have won) 1 Title (Maybe 2) 4 Pennants
Bagwell (6 Seasons - 846 Games):
144 HR 950 Hits 206 Doubles 589 RBI 545 Runs 500 BB 78 SB 158 OPS+ 35.5 WAR 2 AS 1 SS 1 GG 1 MVP No postseasons.
Obviously Bagwell was a better hitter percentage-wise by a good margin, but considering he had 40 more Games, their counting stats are really quite similar. And since Bregman is doing it while playing a tougher defensive position, their WAR totals aren't far off. I'll be curious to see if Bregman starts trying to add some base stealing back to his repertoire, or if he is too concerned with aggravating the hamstring injury again.
We focus on Altuve's HoF case (as well we should), but Bregman isn't too far off pace if his health concerns are now a thing of the past.

The comparison is interesting for a lot of reasons. One of which is that most teams that have been as dominate as the Astros have been for so long usually have several mvps that eventually get elected. Obviously Verlander makes it and it sure looks like Altuve makes it but right now the only other candidate is Bregman. Alvarez is dominate but injury prone. Tucker just will never be a guy who hits for a high average. If Correa was as good as he thought he was then he would make it, but of course he is not. So Bregman is really the next best candidate.

Current player ranking in order, on adding on their current stats with great/MVP seasons, so they make the HOF: 1. Verlander 2. Altuve 3. Alvarez 4. Bregman 5. Tucker 6. Valdez 7. Pena

Pena Your rankings seems about right. The thing with Alvarez is that he is dominate when healthy. His problem is that his knees will eventually betray him as his couning stats have to be stellar given his defensive shortcomings.

Springer and Correa both have/had the talent, but health and inconsistency have hurt them. They just aren't going to end up putting up the counting totals the voters like.

Bregman is a much better clutch hitter imo.
