Baltimore nominates Bert Morales:
http://www.simdynasty.com/player.jsp?id=5853150
Morales played 16 years for Baltimore and retired this past off-season with career numbers of 326 HR, 1242 RBI, .289 AVG, .497 SLG and .850 OPS.
Morales was the AL rookie of the year in 1976 and was named AL MVP in 1979 - while posting a line of 99 R, 32 HR, 89 RBI, .316 AVG, .573 SLG and .953 OPS (the SLG and OPS led the majors that season). Morales was also named to the AL All-Star team in 1982 (20 HR, 102 RBI, .294 AVG, .507 SLG and .849 OPS).
Morales' poor health (D- for most of his career before falling to an F as he declined) kept him off the field and unable to accumulate the typical statistics of a Hall of Famer (he did still manage to top 100 RBI 4 times and had 99 RBI in 1986). But he was an integral part of the Crabs from 1976 thru 1991 and helped lead Baltimore to 7 LCS appearances, 2 World Series appearances - and 2 World Series rings.

Sorry, I've been pretty sick so far this holiday season. Rather than cramming this vote into the offseason, we'll just roll Morales into next year's ballot. Sorry for any inconvenience.
