My areas of greatest disagreement are (1) Javy Lopez - are you serious? and (2) Jack Morris doesn't even deserve your MAYBE. On the other hand, love your blunt statements of disbelief regarding one-day HOFers Don Mattingly and Tim Raines (did these writers watch any baseball?)

I don't buy the Hall as a recognizer of players who are already famous. The Hall should reward the best players, thus bestowing perpetual fame upon them. If we all voted for the guys we remember, Doc Gooden and John Rocker would be in the Hall, but future generations would never learn about worthy players like Raines and Blyleven. Larkin and Walker helped their teams win far more baseball games than Mattingly and JuanGone... and Terry Mulholland, for that matter.

Interesting post!
I always start by admitting I am an HOF elitist...only the best of the best get in my ideal BBHOF.
Of your 10, my only "NO WAY" goes to Javy Lopez.
A softer "no" goes to Juan Gonzalez, Mattingley and Edgar.
I am lukewarm on Murphy, Raines and McGriff.

Larkin a "MAYBE"? What?! :)
