Two HOF in top 5, a couple of other probables as well. Also Kingman is in there.

And of those, Killebrew and McCovey did most of their damage in a pitcher-dominated era. Rightly or wrongly, I'm pretty sure Canseco, Giambi, and Gonzo don't even get a sniff of Cooperstown. ManRam's probably a cinch to get in.
It's worth noting that Rice compares favorably to both Thome and Delgado, and is several dozen spots above Raines.
Of course, it's equally worth noting that Thome and Delgado are still adding to their stats.
