I would vote for the following:

-These guys would be glaring omissions if they were not elected

C Torriente
P Hill
B Mackey
J Wilson
M Suttles
W Brown
D Lundy
D Redding

-Just a notch below

G Johnson
L Santop
J Beckwith
C Brewer
R Brown

-Personal favorites

J Mendez
D Moore
O Marcelle
A Oms
R Dixon

-If you want an executive

C Posey


I would echo Andy's thoughts on Minoso and O'Neill. Minoso should be in, but definitely not as a Negro Leaguer. Buck O'Neill should be in as an ambassador for his overall contribution to baseball history, but not at the expense of a deserving player.

My understanding is that this is a one-shot deal, if they don't get in on this ballott then they don't ever get in, so I hope they do the right thing and elect a large group of these great ballplayers.
