Could Carlos Beltran enter the HOF as a Met?

Carlos Beltran recently said that if he is lucky enough to be elected, he could enter the Hall of Fame with a Mets hat, according to Mark Hale of the New York Post. 

"It could be," Beltran said. "I don't know how that works. I don't know how you choose that. But, yeah, it could happen ... If you look at my numbers, I think I had better numbers with the Mets than the Royals."

With the Royals, Beltran hit 123 home runs with 516 RBI, and 164 stolen bases. With the Mets, he hit 149 home runs with 559 RBI, and 100 stolen bases. In his career, Beltran has 2,166 hits, 353 home runs, 1,296 RBI and 308 stolen bases. 

In my mind, Beltran was incredibly underrated during his time with the Mets. He had some amazing seasons, including the 41 home runs in 2006 that helped lead the team to the NLCS. As for his career numbers, I don't know if he is a shoe-in Hall of Famer, but he is borderline. 

It is very rare to find a player with a perfect combination of speed, power, and defense in today's game. Beltran was a perfect example of a five-tool player. 

With the Mets, Beltran started off hot, then cooled down a bit because of injuries. However, he finished his Mets tenure very strong, hitting .289 with 15 home runs in 98 games before being traded to the Giants in 2011. 

It's obvious that Beltran's numbers are better with the Mets than with the Royals. Beltran's prime was in New York, and that is where he thrived the most. If he does indeed make the Hall of Fame, I expect him to wear a Mets cap. Beltran was a great player with the Mets, and if he is not elected to Cooperstown, he should easily be elected to the team's Hall of Fame.
