Delgado was 7 x top 20 MVP .280 lifetime and 473 homers..1500 rbis only in 10 postseason games... I still like Galarraga over Delgado.... but mcgriff over both

If the strike shorten season of 94 never happened McGriff most likely would have gotten to 500 HRs. He had 34 in 113 games that year. He prob would have hit another 7 given him 500 for his career. Based on numbers he is a borderline HOF, but I feel like he was deserving. He was just overshadowed by many in that era. And he had a great nickname.
