Default Does Lance Parrish deserve to be in the HOF?

Someone posted on Twitter about Lance Parrish. He retired right as I was gaining interest in baseball. His stats and highlights seem pretty impressive. What's the argument against him? He seems to have been a great combo catcher with hitting and defense.

From Twitter user @NotGaetti

Not enough people talk about Lance Parrish

• 324 HR, 1070 RBI, 3113 TB, 39.5 WAR
• 8x All-Star, 6x Silver Slugger, 3x GG
• 1984 World Series Champ with DET
• Only C to reach 42 2B and 114 RBI
• Tied with Gary Carter at 324 HR
• Threw out 50+ base stealers 5x
• (Pudge Rodriguez only did it 2x)
• One of just seven catchers in MLB history to hit at least 300 homers; the other six are all in the Hall of Fame

Despite being tied for 5th all time in home runs at his position and having a diversified trophy case that includes six Silver Sluggers, three Gold Gloves, and a World Series ring, Parrish was a one-and-done on his only HOF ballot appearance in 2001, receiving just 1.7% of the vote. An injustice!
