Andre Dawson has to be inducted this year, or theres something wrong in the world. Jim Rice is a definent i expect him and andre to be inducted same year. Maybe Dave Parker.

These were all very good, maybe even great players. I couldn't argue with Dawson and Rice becoming HOFers. Parker was such a poor defender that I would have trouble putting him in.
But, I can understand if they don't go in because when the voting is done players are compared to others at their position. Corner outfielders are generally the most productive players offensively, so when you compare their stats to others, it's imperative that you compare them to other right fielders, in which case you may find their numbers are on the high end of the spectrum but not the highest end of the spectrum.

Rice should be there. He was one of the most feared hitters in baseball from the mid 70s through the mid 80s. Dawson and Parker were both terrific players but I don't think their overall body of work merits induction into the HOF.

I think all three of these guys were very good players. I don't think the HOF is for very good players. It is for the absolute elite. Although very good these three are not absolute elite.
Yes I know that they are better than many who are in the HOF. The appropriate solution is that some should be removed not more very good added.
I know that this is an extreme position but I feel it would be the best for the lasting integrity of the HOF

is a huge Andre Dawson fan but I don't think these 3 are HOF members I think you should look at everything stats and what they did. and they didn't really do too much.

I agree on all counts, especially Jim Rice.
