Well KSigKid, since you asked . . . ; )
Ozzie deserves it - he was just sick during his time, I don't care if he hit .260 or .110, he was the total trip in the field.
Jack Morris should be in - he was positively dominating, and like Peter Gammons says, "When I watched him play, it never occured to me that he wouldn't be a first-ballot hall-of-famer." Remember the 10-inning masterpiece in the world series?
Gary Carter was nasty - I feel that he's only not in due to the "let's make him wait" corrolary, which i personally hate. Just freaking elect the guy.
Bert Blyleven - he's Nolan Ryan, but w/ a different style of pitching, and has to be a HOFer, in my opinion.
The Goose - totally re-defined the way the game is played, not just at the pro level either. If Mariano Rivera is a 'sure thing' (which i'll agree with), you gotta go to the Goose as well.
Luis Tiant - numbers don't always tell the story, and he was possibly the best pitcher in the game for years, although his actual career was short. There's many examples of him being dominant, including the game he threw over 180 pitches (into extra innings) to get the win when the bullpen was worn down from two straight extra-inning games.
