Has Starlin Castro done things offensively that guys who go on to be ten-time All-Stars and Hall of Famers did?

New Cub GM Theo Epstein recently said of Castro:
"Offensively, the things he has done is what guys who go on to be ten-time All-Stars and Hall of Famers do."

See Theo Epstein Loves Starlin Castro and Other Bullets at "Bleacher Nation."

The list below shows all 2B-SS who had 500+ PAs through the age of 21 and their OPS+.



He is close to two Hall of Famers, Alomar and Ripken. He has done better so far than two frequent All-Stars, Whitaker and Randolph. But Delino DeShields and Gregg Jeffries did better and are not in the Hall and Jeffries had just two All-Star teams.

Here are three SS he is ahead of who made the Hall:

Travis Jackson 92
Robin Yount 86
Rabbit Maranville 78
