I guess you didn't see my edit above that included Munson appearing as a DH 77 times and an outfielder over 50 times himself.

Posey had 838 plate appearances at 1B, 133 as DH and 66 as PH
Munson had 19 plate appearances at 1B, 336 as DH and 64 as PH. Munson also had played appearances at RF (92), LF (14), and 3B (3). In other words, Munson was more versatile than Posey.
I am not saying Posey doesn't belong in the HOF. I am saying that it might be a bitter pill to swallow if Posey made it in before Munson.
