Ozzie Guillen, Orel Hershiser, and Will Clark are not HOFers by any stretch.  Hershiser had a phenomenal year in 88, but never came close to matching it.  Will Clark needed an attitude adjustment and should have stayed in SanFran.  Guillen was average at best over his career.  He was not in the same league as Ozzie Smith or Barry Larkin.  

Andre Dawson is the player most deserving.  Look at his power, speed, defense, and he won an MVP.  He did all this while playing for subpar teams in Montreal & Chicago.  The Hawk should get in and so should Bert Blyleven.  He never had a single great year like Hershiser, but had many very good years.  Plus, he is top ten in strikeouts and shutouts and had just as good a winning percentage as Nolan Ryan.

I also like Mattingly.  He was one of the best players in baseball from 1984-1990, but voters think he was overrated playing for the Yankees.
