I think McGriff is one of those guys who's a lock for the Hall of Very Good but not necessarily the HOF. I don't think he was truly as "feared" as a hitter as some of the bigger hitters of his time...(I saw the "similarity" list and think Bagwell in his prime would have been feared more)...it'll be close. Maybe if he's on the ballot in a year of weak candidates (like 2005) he'll have a strong shot at it.
