Edgar should definitely be in. It's not his fault that he lingered in AAA while the Mariners had Jim Pressley at 3B. And Edgar was NOT a DH because he was injury prone (whoever said that). He was a 3B with absolutely no range. He was one of THE dominant hitters in his day (to whoever foolishly threw that lame attack at him). I leave you with these quotes from Baseball Reference:
Mike Scioscia: "Edgar's a Hall of Fame-caliber hitter. He's the one guy you didn't want to see come up there with the game on the line."
Dusty Baker: "He's one of best right-handed hitters ever seen"
Mariano Rivera: "He's the toughest batter I ever faced"
