Which HOF’ers would you classify as stat compilers?

It’s no argument that some of the players in the HOF have been titled with “accumulating” stats vs. actually being the best during their era. I think with some players we see a little bit of both (Albert Pujols comes to mind, elite but padding stats at this point). During the process of collecting HOF autos I’ve noticed there are certain players whose counting stats look pretty solid but when you look at their career it really doesn’t appear that way. They were never league leaders or had eye popping seasons but rather consistent or above average for their entire career, which usually are 20+ years of service. Which players come to mind?

Bert blyleven anyone?
