I think if his career ended now he would be a lock for this Hall of Fame (Shame?)

Wilkins played 10 years but really only had one productive one so I think he could deserve inclusion. Seymour looked tobepretty good and Hickman had a few productive years, though none like his big one.

I think these guys fit in with Hickman wherever he belongs. Especially Thigpen, he was a really good closer but then fell off drastically.

These guys could definitely be in, especially Prior. Injuries ultimately did him in but but he only had that one great year.
Hamelin wasn't as big of a standout and had two decent years but was a bust otherwise. I remember him as the AAA beast. Just could never do it in the Bigs.

Two really goos years and then mediocrity. Lol. That's crazy. He definitely fits on some kind of has been list,

Absolutely!
I've upated the first post where I think some of these guys belong with links to their BBREF pages. We can "induct" them officially as compelling cases are made.
