IMO everyone has a good case against putting them in except Barry Larkin.

I don't think the fact that Edgar Martinez was a DH is a case against. Where does it say that a DH can't be in the Hall of Fame?
Larkin doesn't stand out as being a for sure HOF. Sure, he had a good career. Sure, he had same very good seasons. But I just don't think of him in the HOF. He may have been fun to watch, but I don't think of him as being the best SS ever to play the game - or even in the last 20 years. Good, sure. But not HOF caliber in my book.
Like I said, I wouldn't be upset if he got in. My standards would change if he gets in, and I think they'd be lower because of it. To each his own, though.
