I think he gets in but I wouldn't vote for him.

Poor Bobbbbb, he's still touting Nini Tornay.

I'd vote for Posey.  The non-candidate that intrigues me is Bill Freehan.  Good, not great numbers. 200 HRs, only behind Berra and Bill Dickey for AL catchers.  Only led the league in getting HBP three times. But he was an 11-time All-Star, five time gold glove winner, finished in top 7 in MVP voting three times.  Held the career fielding percentage record, total chances and total putout records for catchers until 2002.  Isn't that the definition of a Hall of Famer?  Someone who is the best at their position while they were in the big leagues?

Other non-Hall of Famers and their All-star appearances:

Steve Garvey (10)
Elston Howard (9)
Fred Lynn (9)
Davey Concepcion (9)
Frank McCormick (9 -- mostly WWII)
