Jay Jaffe thinks so, and I agree with him:

Peak WAR: 46.9 (42.0)
JAWS: 55.7 (53.4)

Career WAR: 64.5 (HOF Standard: 64.8)Quote:
With seven on-base titles, six All-Star selections, a Gold Glove, an MVP award, 2,135 hits, and 356 homers, his counting stats aren't overwhelming, but he's cleared the peak and JAWS standards for first basemen, ranking ninth in the former category and 12th in the latter, ahead of the just-inducted Todd Helton in both. Throw in his status as a media favorite, and I think we'll see him in Cooperstown soon enough.

gets a bump for playing his entire career with one team (Reds)
never took the field for the Blue Jays this year
-----
and worth checking and mentioning...
career home OPS --> .930
career road OPS ---> .912
was also a great hitter outside the friendly confines of Great American Ballpark

If Harold Baines is in, Joey Votto will be in.
For me, I'm fine with him in, but won't lose sleep if he doesn't make it.

Borderline HoFer IMO. Voto's limited postseason appearances might keep him out. It is not his fault that the teams he was apart of rarely made the postseason but it limited the number of times he might of had a moment on the big stage that might sway voters in favor of his induction.
Guys, this isn't even debatable. He's easily a Hall of Famer. 17 seasons, CAREER .409 OBP. 356 HR. 7x black ink for OBP. 1 MVP. 6x top 10 MVP.

I've never thought of him as a Hall of Famer, but looking at his numbers, he almost certainly is. The only reason it's not a foregone conclusion is that he played for the Reds.
