iNext year Ricky Henderson, aka "The Mouth That Bored", aka "The TO of MLB" will gain induction into the HOF. He is arguably the greatest leadoff hitter the game has seen and, except in Pete Rose's case, beng a self-centered jerk doesn't disqualify someone from being inducted.
Alomar and Larkin should make the HOF though not necessarily on the 1st ballot but Edgar Martinez could be handicapped by the fact he played DH for most of his career and may be viewed as a one-dimensional player.
Bagwell should also make the HOF eventually but Walker will be hurt by the fact he had his best years playing in the Denver launching pad. Palmeiro should not even be considered because he's a lowlife juicer. Same goes for Bonds and Clemens--they should all be inducted about 25 years after Rose gets the nod.
Biggio and Piazza will make the hall but Franco is a longshot unless he gets the novelty vote.

1. Barry Larkin, one the best players ever at shortstop.
2. Jeff Bagwell. Another first ballot Hall of Famer. A great player.
3. Craig Biggio. Like Bagwell. A first ballot choice.
4. Mike Piazza. Absolutely the best hitting catcher of all time.
5. Roberto Alomar. Yessss!
Leave Bonds and Clemens out of it for now, Please
If either ever "fesses" up, then let's at least consider them.
The other four were all very good to outstanding players, but I'm not sure about their being Hall of Fame worthy.
All the others on your laundry list. No, except for Blyleven.His record and stats are better than many of the pitchers who are in the Hall.

Been a Piazza fan my whole life, in fact, he was my idol growing up. That'll probally be the only one I pay to go see be inducted
