You can make a case that Gil was really good, but not quite good enough. You can't make it in a room full of Mets fans, but you can make it. There is no case against Dick Allen. 53rd best OPS in history and led his league four times in his career. 19th best OPS+ ever. Lousy fielder, but he wouldn't be the first good-hit, no-field corner infielder in the HOF. The only argument against him was that he was supposed to be an ass, though I don't doubt there was a good bit of racism behind that label. Put the man in already. This, I think. It's hard for New Yorkers to take the emotion out of the Gil debate, but I just don't think it's going to happen.
