fathom Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 Shouldn't be with him being guilty of PEDs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleHurt05 Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 (edited) Yes. His regular season numbers make him a borderline candidate, but his playoff numbers put him in the Hall. (I am aware of his HGH history, but considering the era, I don't let it affect my opinion too much) Edited October 8, 2010 by LittleHurt05 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZoomSlowik Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 I've got to say no. He's generally been a good but not great player. How often can you say he was one of the 5-10 best pitchers in the league in a given year? Heck, he wasn't even the best starter on his team most of the time. I don't think there's even a discussion if he's not a Yankee. One other comment: if you don't think he's in based on his regular season numbers, his playoff numbers shouldn't really put him over the top... Regular season: 3.88 ERA, 1.36 WHIP, 6.6 k/9, 2.8 BB/9, .8 HR/9 playoffs (41 career starts): 3.87 ERA, 1.32 WHIP, 5.9 k/9, 2.5 BB/9, 1.1 HR/9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JorgeFabregas Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 The 3.88 ERA is pretty impressive considering when and where he's pitched (steroid-era AL). He'll make it because of the win total and rings/Yankeeness. I bet that half the voters will forget that he took PEDs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthSideSox72 Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 He's borderline at best with the numbers, and the steroids push him off the fence into the "No" category. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordan4life_2007 Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 (edited) Hell no. This isn't the NBA where I could make the HOF. I like that baseball, for the most part, has some pretty high standards to who they do and don't let in.

Now that I think about it, the reason his postseason numbers seem so good is because he played in the LDS era with the best team around, so he started way more games than anyone else had the opportunity too.
