Ken Griffey Jr. is rightfully a first-ballot Hall of Famer, gaining induction on Sunday in Cooperstown with the highest voting percentage ever, with 437 of 440 votes for a 98.8 perent total. For Mike Piazza, it took four tries on the Baseball Writers Association of America ballot before he garnered the required 75 percent for entry.

Piazza’s entry to the Hall means that he is no longer the best catcher on the outside looking in. So who is? And what about the other positions. Let’s take a look.

Catcher: Ted Simmons

An eight-time All-Star in his career with the Cardinals, Brewers and Braves, Simmons got support from just 3.7 percent of the voters in the 1994 Hall of Fame election, and was bounced off the ballot after one year. He’s been considered and passed over by the veterans’ committee since then, but will be considered again eventually. His spot on this list is only temporary: Ivan Rodriguez comes onto the BBWAA ballot this year, and may find himself in a similar situation to Piazza with a bit of a wait because of PED connections – in Rodriguez’s case, more concrete ones such as Jose Canseco claiming he personally injected Pudge.

Bagwell should get into the Hall next year, having gotten to 71.6 percent on his sixth ballot to get within sniffing distance of Cooperstown. The 1994 National League MVP and four-time All-Star has the highest career WAR of any retired first baseman not in the Hall, including Rafael Palmeiro and Mark McGwire. Retired is a key word, though, because Albert Pujols has a 21-WAR advantage on Bagwell. It will be a long time, though, before Pujols is a Hall of Fame candidate.

Second base: Lou Whitaker

Perhaps the most shameful “five-percenter,” Whitaker was knocked off the Hall of Fame ballot after just one year, as he appeared on 2.9 percent of voters’ slates in 2001. A five-time All-Star and half of the most iconic double play combination of the 1980s, Whitaker was the 1978 American League Rookie of the Year and won three Gold Gloves while posting a career OPS+ of 117. Shoutouts as well to Whitaker’s contemporaries, Bobby Grich and Willie Randolph. Among active players, Robinson Cano and Chase Utley are building strong cases.

The other half of that iconic 1980s double play combination with Whitaker on the Tigers, Trammell’s 70-WAR career was not enough to get the six-time All-Star and 1984 World Series MVP to Cooperstown. He was on the ballot for a full 15 years, topping out last year at 40.9 percent before shuffling off to eventual consideration from the veterans committee. It’s a 17-WAR gap to the next eligible shortstop not in the Hall of Fame, Bert Campaneris, while Derek Jeter – with a 1.4 WAR advantage over Trammell (WAR is not all that matters, but still) – figures to get in just as soon as the ink dries on the 2019 ballot.

Third base: Ken Boyer

There are two eligible third basemen with higher career WAR totals than Boyer, but it’s not a wide margin and Boyer had a shorter career than both Buddy Bell and Graig Nettles. An All-Star in 1956, and every year from 1959-64, Boyer capped his peak by winning the National League MVP and Sporting News Player of the Year award to go along with the five Gold Gloves he already had. He somehow never got over 25.5 percent in Hall of Fame balloting. Chipper Jones and Scott Rolen hit the ballot in 2017, with Jones having a better chance at election, while the career WAR leader among non-Hall of Fame third basemen is the still-active Adrian Beltre, who should be a lock already and only figures to become more of one as he closes in on 3,000 hits.

Left field: Barry Bonds

No explanation necessary. Also Tim Raines, who darn well better be in Cooperstown next summer.

Center field: Vada Pinson

Kenny Lofton and Jim Wynn also would be acceptable answers, but Pinson is one of those players who people who saw him play can’t stop talking about, maybe because of the chance for electricity anytime he was at the plate, as the major league leader in doubles twice and triples twice – in four different seasons. His exclusion from the Hall is not a glaring omission – nor are Lofton and Wynn – but it’s goofy that he never got higher than 15.7% of the vote. Carlos Beltran, still active though in right field now, should be Cooperstown-bound once his career is over.

Penalized because he had his best years in Colorado at the height of the greatest offensive era in baseball history, Walker has not gotten more than 22.9 percent of the BBWAA vote in six years on the ballot, clocking in at 15.5% last year. He’s not going to make it to Cooperstown, and that’s a shame because the 1997 National League MVP and three-time batting champion was way more than a product of Coors Field, like when he led the National League in doubles for the 1994 Expos, not to mention his seven Gold Gloves.

Pitcher: Roger Clemens

As obvious as Bonds, but without a non-steroid guy behind him who truly belongs in. Mike Mussina and Curt Schilling would be the two next-best pitchers, and those men represent what should be a threshold for future votes: if you’re better than them, you get into the Hall. Or, perhaps, Mussina and Schilling will get in. Mussina moved up to 43 percent on last year’s ballot, his third, while Schilling advanced to 52 percent in his fourth year.
