I haven't seen this posted here so thought I'd throw it out. Always good for a debate

It's that time again. The ballot for the Hall of Fame is in the hands of the voters. Here's who we have on the board:

(x-first time eligible)
Bert Blyleven, x-Brett Butler, Gary Carter, x-Vince Coleman, Dave Concepcion, x-Darren Daulton, x-Mark Davis, Andre Dawson, x-Sid Fernandez, Steve Garvey, Rich Gossage, Keith Hernandez, x-Rick Honeycutt, x-Danny Jackson, Tommy John, Jim Kaat, x-Darryl Kile, Don Mattingly, Jack Morris, Dale Murphy, x-Eddie Murray, Dave Parker, x-Tony Pena, Jim Rice, x-Ryne Sandberg, x-Lee Smith, Bruce Sutter, x-Danny Tartabull, x-Mickey Tettleton, Alan Trammell, x-Fernando Valenzuela, x-Mitch Williams, x-Todd Worrell.

Sort of a weak class.

My ballot:
Eddie Murray – can’t argue much with 500 HR and the 3,000 hits
Bert Blyleven- 287 wins, 3700Ks, 60 shutouts. If not for those horrible Twins teams of the 70's, he'd have the magical 300 wins
Steve Garvey – Yea, my homer pick. I know he’ll never make it in on the writer’s vote but he'll always have my vote

I'm on the fence:
Lee Smith – 478 saves; not first ballot but maybe down the line
Andre Dawson – only guys with more RBI than him not in the Hall (who are eligible) are Murray and Baines
