Saying this: "Teams need their better hitters actually hitting instead of passing it to the next guy."

while talking about Edgar Martinez in the context of, Martinez walked too much, is undeniably stupid.

Because Martinez did actually hit. We know this for a fact. Anyone with an internet connection can verify that fact in under 10 seconds.

I don't like calling people's opinions stupid, unless they are undeniably stupid. Some people don't like walks. Adam Jones gets like 10 walks a year. He thinks it more productive of him to swing the bat. He's pretty successful too

It's not that I don't like walks.  They are productive AB.   However, good hitters should be swinging the bat instead of taking strikes because "It wasn't the one I was looking for."     I felt EM was too "patient" at the plate. 

Of course, that's not really why I don't think he's HOF material despite whatever dumbassery is behind BL blocked post.   He's not HOF material because:
A)  He didn't play D
B) He didn't hit enough to make up for A
