Baltimore nominates Vive Weik:
http://www.simdynasty.com/player.jsp?id=6102079
After taking his lumps as a young SP in 1978, '79 & '80 - Weik emerged as a full-time SP in the 1981 season. The Baltimore teams in the early '80s generally lost more than they won, but Weik emerged as the ace of the re-building Crabs and posted a 69-67 won-loss record from '81 thru '85. Weik also won the first of his two Gold Gloves in 1983.
In his final 6 years spent as a SP (1986 thru 1991), Weik emerged as one of the best and most consistent SPs in the American League. Weik had a 109-51 won-loss record over that span, winning 20 games in 1991 and 19 games in two other years. Weik also was named to five consecutive All-Star teams during this stretch - and in 1989 was the AL Cy Young Award winner (and starting pitcher in the AS Game) with a stat line of 19-6, 1.09 WHIP, 2.87 ERA and a league-leading 226 strikeouts.
In 1990, Weik had a terrific post-season - with a 1-0 record, 1.29 WHIP and 3.29 ERA in two LCS starts and then a 2-0 record, 0.52 WHIP and 0.52 ERA in two WS starts (helping the Crabs win the World Series). Weik finished his post-season career with a stat line of 4-3 (in 9 starts), 1.16 WHIP and 3.23 ERA.
In his final season (1992), Weik accepted a move from the starting rotation to the bullpen - surely costing himself a shot at 200 career wins. He finished his career with a 195-150 won-loss record, 1.34 WHIP, 3.94 ERA, 2 Gold Gloves, 5 All-Star appearances, 1 Cy Young Award, 6 LCS appearances and 2 WS rings.

Ultimately, I think he comes up short of the HoF - but I always like to at least get my deserving guys their day in the sun (or on the ballot).Baltimore nominates Vive Weik:

SP Rawly Burke:
Rawly is generally considered one of the five best pitchers in league history, and is a lock for the Hall of Fame. He made nine consecutive all-star teams, winning the Cy Young Award four times, twice in the AL and twice in the NL. He won 20 games seven times, including a remarkable stretch from 1982-1985 in which he won 95 games in just four seasons. He is the all-time leader in complete games with 188, and threw 43 shutouts. A power pitcher, Rawly led the league in strikeouts six times, finishing his career with over 3000. In 1982, he won the pitching triple crown with a 24-3 record, a 2.33 ERA and 24 strikeouts. He went 13-2 in his final season, ending his career on a high note with Philadelphia, the team he began his career with.
Of course, individual success is not as important as team success, and Rawly played for a lot of great teams, making the playoffs 11 times in his career. He won four World Series, three with Philadelphia and one with Baltimore. He was 9-9 in his playoff career, with a 3.14 ERA.

OF Bruce Otanez:
Bruce was a late bloomer, not being drafted until the 3rd round... by the time he was finished, he was 2nd all-time in stolen bases with 663, while only getting caught 250 times. In a ten-year period from 1978-1987, Bruce stole 537 bases, made nine all-star teams and won four World Series, including three with Philadelphia. Bruce was also a formidable hitter, scoring over 1400 runs, while driving in almost 1000, and drawing over 1000 walks. He was one of the best catalysts of his era.
