Sutter and Gossage were the first two guys on the cusp of the "Closer Era". Like it or not, the advent of the closer changed the way the game was played. So when you combine his stats and impact on the game, I think Sutter isn't a horrible inclusion.

For that same reason, I think Tommy John/Dr. James Andrews should be inducted.

Next year should be interesting with Gwynn/Ripken/MCGWIRE on the ballot. McGwire furor should be entertaining.
