Jones should get in regardless. He had a TZR of 251, 2nd all time behind only Brooks Robinson and ahead of Ozzie Smith. He also hit 434 HRs and was an above average hitter, OPS+ 111.
Omar Vizquel's defense is greatly overrated. He didn't make errors, but also didn't have great range like Ozzie Smith. He was also a poor hitter, OPS+ 82. His TZR was 129 which is 31st all time behind Gary Gaetti and Devon White. Are they HOFers too? What about Buddy Bell with a TZR of 174 and OPS+ 109?
