Default my thoughts...

I'd take Dale Murphy over Fred McGriff any day of the week.

Jack Morris is also at/near the top of the list.

If you look at Bill James' work, you could get some ideas of guys who should be in the hall based on "top 10" to "top 15" at each position. It's not precise, but you would have pulled in Ron Santo and Joe Gordon before they got the call.

For instance, at 3B, you'd have Stan Hack and Darrell Evans.
At SS, Alan Trammell
LF = Joe Jackson, Tim Raines, Minnie Minoso
CF = Griffey Jr (duh), Jimmy Wynn, D. Murphy, Wally Berger

Other names like Piazza, Munson, Mattingly, and Bagwell show up.

For pitchers, you'd get guys like Carl Mays and Wes Ferrell (from the 20's), Lon Warneke (from the 30's-40's), and Don Newcombe (from the 50's), not to mention the incomparable Pedro Martinez, to name a few.

Good luck!
