I don't believe it.
This is a completely valid argument.

I dont like Biggio because he is an example of why stat thresholds are enough.

He was a GOOD player for 20 years and amassed stats to make him a Hall of Famer. but he was never once in his career one of the 3 best at his position IMHO. He was never a perennial all start or all time great. Just a damn good solid player that was durable.

Meanwhile Pedro Martinez is one of the most dominant players of all time and is going to have detractors because of his "totals".
