The few extra HRs and doubles can’t hurt, but mostly, pushing his candidacy back a couple more years will give the voters a chance to better incorporate modern analysis into their thinking (or…you know…to die). Once people actually look at his career, his candidacy may gain some steam, or he could be the CF version of Trammel/Whitaker/Raines.
