I think you have to deal with the HOF as what it is, not what it should be. My votes would be as follows...truth be told, there are probably a couple of Raul Mondesis already in the hall. I have no problem one way or the other with the * guys for obvious reason. ( am using a scale of 1 - 5...1 is should be in but borderline, 5 is clear in comparison to those already enshrined, though this is in no way to say that the 5s are among the alltime greats.
Roberto Alomar - 4
Jeff Bagwell -5
Harold Baines -2
Bert Blyleven - 5
Juan Gonzalez -2
Barry Larkin -3
Don Mattingly -3
Fred McGriff -2
Mark McGwire*
Jack Morris -2
Dale Murphy - 3
Rafael Palmeiro *
Dave Parker - 2
Tim Raines -4
Lee Smith - 4 (his name is too plain and that will hurt him...it's not as memorable as "Goose" or "Eck")
Alan Trammell -3
Larry Walker- 3
This is the "feel" test without any real research
