I totally disagree with your assessment of Orel Hershiser. He was one of the most dominating pitchers--Top 5 IMO-- in baseball during the 80's. Everybody remembers the Bulldog's phenomenal year of 1988 when he broke Drysdale's scoreless innings record and led the Dodgers to a World Series win. But, people tend to forget that his other seasons during the 80's were quite remarkable as well. For instance, in 1985, Hershiser led the majors with a 2.03 ERA. Of course, you can't forget the fact that the Dodgers have been known for the last 40+ years as a team where the pitchers normally receive very little run support. If Orel played for the A's or the Mets during that era, then I believe he would've averaged over 20 wins a season during the 80's.
Will Clark deserves a place in the Hall, as well. He was the best fielding first baseman during the late '80's and early '90's. Will The Thrill was also quite a hitter, who was usually among the leaders in extra base hits and had a lifetime average of over .300. Very few players in today's game can accomplish that feat. Personally, I didn't like the guy's pompous attitude off the field either, but you can't deny the fact that he was a hell of a player on it. As a Dodger fan, it isn't easy to sing the praises of Clark, but anyone looking at it objectively has to admit what a baseball genius he was.
As for Ozzie Guillen, he certainly wasn't up to par with Ozzie Smith and Barry Larkin, but he's definitely in the top 10 or 15 among shortstops in the past 25-30 years. He was excellent defensively and could swing a pretty good bat for the most part. I'll concede that I may have overdone it with this pick, but if Robin Yount and Gary Carter deserve to get in on their first year of eligibility, then so does Guillen. But, if Ozzie doesn't get to Cooperstown as a player, then he'll definitely make it in as a manager.
