I took the liberty of organizing your list into a roster by position. This may help how you think about your list and also help others think about who might be missing.
What you have already is a pretty well-rounded roster, particularly if you factor in the position versatility of some of the players. I've added in red text some other guys that I might throw in for consideration.
CATCHERS
Mike Piazza
Mike Scioscia
Roy Campanella
FIRST BASE
Steve Garvey
Eric Karros
Gil Hodges
Wes Parker - one of the best fielding 1B ever; I'd take him over Karros personally.
SECOND BASE
Dave Lopes
Jackie Robinson (could move to 3B or 1B)
Jim Gilliam (could move to 3B)
THIRD BASE
Ron Cey
SHORTSTOP
Bill Russell
Maury Wills
Pee Wee Reese
OUTFIELD
Kirk Gibson (could move to PH, as in 88 WS)
Pedro Guerrero (could move to 3B at your own risk!)
Dusty Baker
Tommy Davis
Carl Furillo
Duke Snider
Willie Davis
If you need a defensive specialist, remember Derrel Thomas?
STARTING PITCHERS
Sandy Koufax
Clayton Kershaw
Orel Hershiser
Fernando Valenzuela
Don Sutton
Don Newcombe
Claude Osteen
Carl Erskine
Ramon Martinez
Bob Welch had some good seasons and memorable moments.
