The Dawson comparison is apt. Dave parker was a better all around player IMO. Back out that one skewed 87 season (when juan Samuel was hitting 28 homers) and Dawson's career is much less impressive. Even if he did play for the cubs , who have this amazing capacity to get marginal candidates into the hall of fame, read Sandberg, Santo. I guess it's the consolation prize for never winning anything.
Edit to add, I'd be fine with Dawson parker and beltre (with another year or two of good productivity) being in the hall. I just want consistency.
