HOF players should be dominate players in their eras, not guys who just hung around for ever and compiled stats. Biggio never led the league in anything, his accomplishment was longevity. He was a good player, not a great.

You don’t get to hang around to compile stats without the skill and ability to earn and keep your spot on the roster.

This is not to say that a number in itself (3000 hits, 300 wins, 500 HR) should get your ticket punched automatically to the Hall, but it should make you a presumptive HoF candidate.
