Dale Murphy should be in.

No. Not good enough for long enough. I rate Andre Dawson ahead of Dale Murphy, but I don't think the Hawk is even quite HOF worthy. The offensive standard for OF (and 1b) is much higher than for other positions.

Alan Trammell is better than both of them - and, he was robbed of the 1987 MVP award.

If he played in NY, Boston, LA or Chicago, he'd be in for sure.

not seeing him as worthy of the hall (but a fine player regardless)
