i'll be the first to say that i don't know nearly as much about bball as a good number of the posters on here, but it seems to me that major hallmark of what makes a player a hall of famer is if that player was dominant at his position or not?
to me, alomar was pretty much the premier 2b in the majors for a solid decade and i have a tough time seeing him not get him due to that

His best seasons came after the turn of the millenium. Plus, he's a bad defender.

Kent will probably be a HOFer too but I think overall Alomar is a better player, kent is better offensively by far though...

Yeah, now he is, but that shouldn't be held against him in the Hall of Fame discussion (as long as he still plays enough, which, with 9 consecutive seasons of 130+ games, he has played enough)...
