looking up tim raines' stats, i was surprised that he put up some pretty good numbers. great base stealer, and could hit for both power and contact. i would put him in before i let dawson in.

the main thing gossage has going for him is the "save" stat, which i think is an overrated stat.

rice is a fringe guy, but he was an mvp, and many times led the league in more than one hitting category. i think i'd put him through (and i'm a yankees fan!).

blyleven deserves to be in the most IMO. had some great years and seems to be similar to nolan ryan in that he played for some crummy teams and had alot of strikeouts.

but when i see that list, i see some good players, maybe even great players. but HOFers? i dunno. of course 1 or 2 will get in though ... so if i had to pick two, i'd say blyleven and gossage, with raines and rice just missing.
