I would have put Blyleven and Raines in. I'm baffled by the lack of support for Raines, but I guess it has to do with that odd idea that guys who have lots more years of eligibility left can wait. I could probably be convinced that Gossage belongs in there, but his good years were slightly before my time as a fan and I'm not quite sure what was so HOF-worthy about him. I mean, he was obviously very good, but he was a relief pitcher, which means to me that you have to be super-extremely good to get in.
