Jeff Kent HOF? Alomar? Biggio ??

I agree that no one should get into the HOF just because he is better than the worst HOFer at his position. So, no, I wouldn't put Kent, Alomar, and Biggio in just because they're better than Schoendienst or Travis Jackson. But I would put them in because they were each the same caliber player as Frank Frisch and Charlie Gehringer. I've never heard anyone say these guys don't belong. I can't imagine a Hall of Fame without them. And, yes, I'm sure you can make arguments that Frisch and Gehringer were better than Kent, Alomar, and Biggio. But you can make reasonable arguments that Kent, Alomar and Biggio were all better than Frisch and Gehringer, and that's more than enough to qualify them for the Hall in my opinion.
