I don't know.
There aren't going to be anymore 300 win guys for a LONG time after Maddux and maybe Glavine retire.
Some of the 200 win, 3000K guys (Pedro, Mussina, Schill, R. Johnson) are going to get some run in the next 10-15 years....

RJ should be a first ballot hall of famer. He was THE dominant LHP of his time and he played on a few lame teams in Arizona, Seattle and Montreal. Ask the guys who played against him who they thought was more dominant pitcher from the left side.
Pedro and Schilling are a bit more suspect as HOF guys. I think that if Pedro can win another 30 games by the time he retires then as a 250 win guy he should go. Schilling is likely going to finish around 225 wins which might get him in some day but then again, maybe not. Still, he will go down in history as a big game pitcher in the postseason, he's won 20 games 3-4 times in his career and the sutured ankle will rank up there as a Willis Reed moment in sports.
Plus, correcting the reporter about A-Rod's purse snatch as "Kerry League" and his overt support for Bush and being a strong Christian man will not help his chances with the liberal reporters of which there are many.
