From just the '84 Tigers team, Whitaker and Trammell are so much better than Morris that it's absurd how little recognition they've received. Evans and Lemon had better careers, if probably not HOF-worthy. Parrish and Gibson are closer on Morris' heels than he is on Evans' and Lemon's.

All you need to know about Morris' HOF case relative to his offensive teammates is summed up by the fact that the '84 Tigers won 104 games with a rotation that was 4/5 composed of guys nobody outside of a Tigers fan even remembers.
