The only that belong in the HOF out of all of those are
Jim Rice, Gil Hodges, Ron Santo, and Goose Gossage
The others are great, not Hall of Fame worthy

Jim Rice
Dwight Evans – Yes – greatest defensive right fielder ever
Andre Dawson – No – good but not great
Dave Parker – No – drug problems
Don Mattingly – Yes – He was baseball in the 80′s
Ron Santo – No – There is a reason he is not in. He is not great.
Gil Hodges – Yes – Great numbers for his time – great defense
Bert Blyleven – Yes – Might be the most deserving pitcher not in the Hall.
Ron Guidry – No – Just don’t think he was Hall worthy.
Rich “Goose” Gossage – No – Just like Santo – he has become a public sideshow with his open crying about not being in.
