I know over the years that people have thought Martinez should get in. If that ever happens then Baines needs to be in as well. Just saying.

I disagree. Baines, as good a player as he was, was just good peaking at very good. He played a long time and his career numbers are inflated, but do not point to any particular peak period during which he was considered elite.
I'm not a big advocate of Edgar either, but he is a noticeable step up from Baines.
