RobArguments could be made regarding Puckett for sure, and I can't really disagree. His stats are all too comparable to guys that aren't in the HOF...Mattingly, Hernandez, etc..
I feel if the HOF is going to allow closers to get their due then Gossage should be in, although the closer list should be short.
Fingers, Ecksersley, Sutter, Gossage I think all should be there. And eventually you can throw in Mariano Rivera and probably Hoffman. Smith compiled some great numbers, but is he really a HOFer?
