But you know the HOF...if nobody goes in for more than a year or two, people wonder what the hell's up. I think Murphy will get in just on niceness alone eventually (as the anti-roid era/prima donna guy), not sure about the others you mentioned. Maybe Dawson.
Don Mattingly, maybe? Short term of dominance, like Maris, but the Hall does love Yankees.

If Don Mattingly gets into the HOF without a ticket, I'm going to become violent. That has nothing to do with his being a Yankee, it has to do with him being a completely obscene case for the HOF as a 1B. Maybe Bernie Williams can sneak Don in during his induction ceremony, but Mattingly? NFW.
