Only a couple of these guys merit super serious consideration but there's an awful lot of them who measure up to the lower end of the Hall.

This is a really good list with some very solid players.
There are a lot of borderline pitchers with Lolich, Mullin, Trucks and Dauss. I would add Dizzy Trout. Trout had one of the best pitching seasons ever in 1944 when he led the League in ERA (2.12) and Shutouts (7) and put up almost 50 bWAR for his career.
Whitaker definitely belongs.
Norm Cash was a 5x All Star, and Tommy Bridges a 6x All Star. Both put up over 50 bWAR.
Darrell Evans had 414 HRs and almost 60 bWAR.
Bill Freehan was an 11x All Star.
A really great list. I think Detroit might have just as many borderline guys as they Yankees.
