As for Ozzie Smith, I think what helps him is the era that he played in and the teams he played on. The NL was relatively thin on shortstops in his prime years. He also played on three pennant winning teams and a World Series winner. He was an All Star in 15 of his 19 seasons, which always put him on the national stage.
One stat that everyone seems to forget is his base stealing ability. He had nearly 600 steals for his career, averaging 37 a year. He struck out very little and had nearly two times as many walks as he did strikeouts. Forgot to mention, he is #1 all time in Defensive WAR, four runs better than #2, Mark Belanger.

if Bill has seriously suggested Cecil Cooper should be in the HOF, he has lost all credibility.

I'd basically stated that Cooper's chances at Cooperstown were basically wiped out because they didn't play him while he was in Boston. In his first three seasons, he played in 14, 12 and 30 games. If he'd started playing earlier, I think he'd have had made for an interesting debate. But as great as he was, I don't think he's on that level.
