Smith makes sense solely from the standpoint of "representation" of his position. Edgar Martinez, if he doesn't get voted in, will eventually get in for the same reason, although he has the stats to back it up and should already be in.

I think what we're going to see is an over-reaction to the lack of 80s/early 90s players in the HoF. That era is under-represented. I'm not sure that is what the HoF is about, though. Harold Baines, Fred McGriff, Dave Steib, etc., were all big names at the time, but that doesn't necessarily translate to HoF-worthy.
