Locks

Mike Piazza - Horrible defense, but the best hitter at the position in all of history. In if he retires today and among the top handful of players at the position all-time.

Ivan Rodriguez - Among the best defenders in the history of the position and a fine hitter to boot. Could retire now and would be in.

Possible

Javier Lopez - Good defender, good but overrated hitter. Still just 33 and coming off his best season. If he reaches 300 home runs (he has 222), he will likely get in with the voters. Still doesn't have my vote.

Jorge Posada - Great hitter, solid defender. Got a late start due to the Yankees obsession with Joe Girardi. Probably won't make it, but a great player.
