Sit on everyone else for another year

I've never understood this mentality. The player either belongs or he doesn't. A players career is not like a fine, and 5 years after retirement is enough time to figure out if a player belongs or not. This whole business of, does he deserve to go on the first ballot, is retarded. Waiting another year is not going to make Eck, or anyone else a better HOF candidate. Eck was THE dominant closer of his time, and possibly the best ever, at least in his prime. This is what got Koufax in didn't it?
