Do you think Edgar Martinez deserves to be in the Hall of Fame?

Before you say no because he was a DH, he was the greatest to ever take up that role. Bud Selig even said so and named the nest DH award the Edgar Martinez award. And Paul Molitor is in the Hall and played over 40% of his games as a DH. This however is one of the best cases for him, Edgar Martinez is just the 13th player eligible for Hall of Fame election to have posted a .300 batting average, .400 on-base and .500 slugging percentage in his career ... and 11 of the first 12 were all inducted into the Hall. The only one of those 12 not in the Hall is " Shoeless" Joe Jackson
