The 10 Best Players That Aren't In Baseball's Hall Of Fame

With Barry Larkin elected to the Hall of Fame, once again, attention moves to those that did not and whether they should have been.
Unfortunately, baseball's Hall of Fame does not provide criteria for electing a player into Cooperstown. So it is up to the individual writers to come up with their own rules for election.
But if we want to know the best players not yet in, we can use Wins Above Replacement (WAR; via Baseball-Reference.com). WAR considers a players all-around value, and gives us a look at how many wins a player was worth in his career and allows us to rank players that played different positions on one scale.
We will took a look at the ten best players that are not in the Hall of Fame*. Who would you vote for?
