Default Talk about Shore, etc. made me wonder: What SHOULD keep a guy out of the HOF?

I grew up watching Killebrew. He got moved around be he was such a bad fielder. Most poor fielders in his day ended up at firstbase. If he had passable defensive abilities, he never would have been moved. Just think what a benefit having someone like him playing 2nd base would have been back when he played.

I use Killebrew because I actually saw him play and used him as a conterpoint to the the argument that defensive specialists have no place in the HOF.
