Severely underrated during the majority of his lengthy career, Chase Utley is very unlikely to gain induction to the Hall in his first year on the ballot. But expect his chances to gradually increase in future years as Utley’s overall abilities, especially in the field and on the bases, during his 16 seasons get more and more of an in-depth examination by voters.
