Dwight Evans, Keith Hernandez, and Roger Maris all belong in the BBHOF. If I remember correctly, all three were exceptional defensive players. Maris was MVP twice. Hernandez was MVP once, and universally recognized as the greatest fielding st baseman ever. (No, not Wes Parker for gosh sakes.) And Dewey had a great throwing arm.
Hall of Fame debates are always fun. Of those three, I'd take Dewey and Hernandez over Maris for Cooperstown. Rajah had two great years and a handful of other All-Star seasons but just wasn't at a peak level for very long. Not sure he measures up to the other two defensively, but then, I didn't see him play (other than in clips). All great players in multiple ways, for sure!
