It would be interesting to get educated opinions from you folks on the yes/no HOF for these players:

Raines - No
Blyleven - No
Dawson - No
Trammell - No
Gossage - Yes
Rice - No, but close

Gossage has every bit the stats as Sutter in their primes. Gossage had more longevity than Sutter.

Jim Rice just didn't do the big numbers long enough, kind of like Maris. Rice almost won the Triple Crown in 1978 winning HR and RBI, 3rd in BA. Rice was the heavy hitter in the 3,4 slot in several all star games
