Based on straight WAR, Koufax would have made the list...
That list would be Brock, Puckett, Koufax, Stargell, Eckersley.
I just thought provided a little glimpse as to who might be at least a little over-rated.

Good stuff.
wWAR certainly feels that a couple of these guys don’t even belong, never mind first ballot.

I'd say Brock and Puckett don't belong by almost any measure
Although I have to admit that I thought Puckett was worthy back in 2001, when he got in. Now, I’m not so sure. He was a great player, but probably not for long enough. I guess it all depends on your philosophy on careers shortened due to non-baseball factors.
