Almost Great Post.

How can I argue with anything you have written. \

Olivia shocked me when you had him so high, but as usual, your knowledge of baseball surpasses my knowledge.

I love the Will Clark and Nomar comments most of all,
 I wish the HOF would judge people in the prime of their careers.

I found  your Dave Parker comments most interesting, he was the most feared player in baseball for a few years and that is a comment reserved for the likes of Brett, Arod, Griffey, (Bonds if excluded for obvious reasons.) Arod was the most dominant prior to his debacle, a fact Bonds will never ever have..

Dale Murphy was the best in baseball for two years and Jack Morris is being forgotten on his career.

I would add Steve Garvey, 10x Allstar, NL MVP, 4 time gold glove winner and the best player on the second best team during a great time prior to baseball expansion.
My favorite shortstop not in HOF is Trammel.  Bill James 9th ranked SS of all time!
Last but not least Edgar Martinez is just a great hitter.

We get into the Roids era and have Bagwell with HOF numbers,

Is Bert Blyleven and Jack Morris not in HOF for some reason?
