My list.
Ted Williams - BA and power, served in WWII and Korea. Gave up his prime. And still, he's number 2.
Ty Cobb - Evil man, hell of a ballplayer
Barry Bonds - See above. j/k - mostly
Willie Mays - Defense and hitting
Mickey Mantle - He's The Mick.
Lou Gehrig - The Iron Horse nearly died playing superior baseball
Rogers Hornsby - .358/.434/.577 over 17 years
Honus Wagner - Before Ruth, there was Honus. Well, AND Cobb.
Stan Musial - 9 times this man was in the top 5 for MVP voting! Good lord.

3 Ted Williams

6 Stan Musial
7 Rogers Hornsby
8 Willie Mays
9 Alex Rodriguez
10 Honus Wagner
My own biases, I suppose. But, Lou Gehrig, to me, is the most underrated player of all time. Babe was a bigger prima-donna, and drew more walks, but he struck out half again as much. I want to put Aaron second, but I just can't, even though he's my favorite hitter of all time.
I'm not sure this list works for the context you provide, but given the names you list, this is how I'd rank them.

Gehrig, for obvious reasons ...
Only Arky Vauaghn and Alex Rodriguez received a nomination with fewer games played.
How can you have
And I still don't like Babe Ruth. The swing makes me want to punch someone.

If his next 6 years
TODAY IS TY COBB'S BIRTHDAY
Top 10
- Babe Ruth - Consider him numbers - 714 - and consider that he hit 20 total homeruns over his five years because he was pitching at a HOF level instead? Ruth is baseball
- Hank Aaron - A class act. Read "I had a Hammer," his auto-biography
- Willie Mays Hays! No no, just Willie Mays.
- Lou Gehrig - When you think of the people you WANT your kids to look up to, Gehrig was probably THE guy in the 20's and 30's. FDR made baseball run during the depression because it kept people hopeful, and Gehrig was a part of that.
- Ted Williams -- .400? Man alive. Pinnacle of hitting
- Ty Cobb - His career average looks like a typo
- Barry Bonds - Watching him hit a homerun live gives you a taste of his dominance, regardless of his chemical makeup
- Stan Musial -- Often overlooked with Joe and Ted playing, but a damn great hitter
- Alex Rodriguez - Simply, great. He had a `bad' season in 06' that is 99% of player's career year
- Cal Ripken Jr - No, he doesn't have the top numbers, but considering he does have great numbers and his streak, its impressive
