Even with the dip in AL Stats, Corey only made leaderboards in two years of non-team affected stats, OBP (4th and 5th). While they were good years, the fact that he was never one of the ten best hitters in the league according to OPS to me suggests that at no point was he dominant.
As much as I hate looking at RBIs, they do imply he wasn't even the best hitter on his team for any stretch of time (if he was only batting-in 60-70 runs a year), chances are he was hitting 2nd or 6th or something. The one gold glove would also suggest that while his fielding was very good, it isn't something he'd be remembered for.
But then, if you feel he deserves it, put him in. If you want to look back in 10 years and have Koskie as one of the greats (he may well have been to you) then you should put him in.
