Martinez came up as a third baseman, and played there on and off for probably half of his career. Obviously he wasn't very good, but even if there wasn't a DH rule, he would have been a first baseman, or stayed at third, or something like that, so keeping him out of the hall of fame because of his DH status is just a dumb argument.
