I would think that Williams would get in. He won a 4 gold gloves as a centre fielder on a championship calibre team, hit almost 300 in his career and played on a team who was in the post season for virtually his entire career. His power numbers aren't outstanding for an outfielder, but in his prime he was still a pretty productive 25-30 HR and 100-110 RBI guy while giving that gold glove defence. Overall his numbers aren't that different from a guy like say Robin Yount for example (although Yount broke in as a SS). A bit less in terms of longevity, but better overall numbers and of course a lot more post season success.
