Off-Day Argument: Is Lance a Hall-of-Famer

This is appropriate, as the Hall of Fame's Induction Weekend starts tomorrow in Cooperstown, New York. Some numbers, if you'll allow:

Career offensive line: .300/.413/.558
OPS+: 148
1530 hits
306 homers
1016 RBI
All-Star: Five times
Top-5 in MVP voting: Four times
Postseason offensive line: .321/.425/.566
Fielding percentage: .990
Top-ten in batting average: four times
Top ten in on-base percentage: Eight times

So the question is, is Lance a Hall of Famer?
