I think it would be interesting to see which of these players are not in the HOF. To deej's comment, catchers are the most consistently overrated position players, at least per WAR. One reason is that catchers on average play far fewer innings than other regulars. I'm also guessing that WAR's difficulty in quantifying defensive contribution is a big reason.

I did think of that actually, but I'm just unsure how I would sort them from best to worst, since as you said, WAR does not do the best job for catchers. Perhaps we could just use oWAR try and name the best offensive catchers?

Among those eligible only Bill Dahlen and Jeff Bagwell aren't in the HoF. Clemens, R. Johnson, Maddux, Rodriguez, Thomas, Rose, Bonds, Chipper, Mussina, Martinez, Ken Griffey and Pujols are not eligible.
