I voted yes on Danek - looks like one of the elite relievers of his time.

Grandstaf got a tough no from me - it was close, but I think his career either needed to be a little bit longer or a little bit more dominant. In the end, four great seasons, two good ones and 2.5 mediocre-to-bad ones doesn't quite do it.

Higham strikes me as your league's Jack Morris. Stuck around forever, was okay-to-good but never really great, and people want to put him in the hall for it.

I give Neilson a yes vote. It looks to me like he was a premier leadoff hitter for a decade, and even with five mediocre seasons at the tail end of his career his career OBP was .422. Couple that with the 782 stolen bases, 79% success rate and four gold glove awards, and he's in.
