Maybe its just my poor memory, but Alomar just doesn't strike me as having been all that good, or at least not Hall worthy. Guess he didn't make much of an impact on me.

He was usually considered the best, or one of the best, 2nd basemen during his day (at the time), in large part due to his glove.

I feel the same way about Blyleven. A good pitcher in his day who played on two WS winners but not really hall worthy in my opinion. Had longevity on his side more then anything. Good for him though.

Really? Would 17 more wins make him a cinch?

17 of 22 seasons - 200+ IP
8 of 22 seasons - 200+ K
242 CG and 60 SO in 22 years (that's an avg of 12 CG and 3 SO a year)
3705 K (5th all time)

His line avg for a 162 game season:

14W - 12L (.534 W %) ; 3.31 ERA ; 34 GS - 12 CG - 3 SO ; 242 IP ; 183 K

I'll take that AVG over a 22 season anyday

I hope this is sarcasm. If not, you must not have seen him play from 1990-2000.
