Well done!!
To: big'ol_freeper
One of the best pitchers in the game, and one of the coolest guys to ever play the game as well. I’m happy for him that he got his injury AFTER signing the $8mil deal and not before. I just hope congress doesn’t pass a law confiscating it; they can do that now, you know.

You could make a case for the Phillies or the Red Sox. He spent the most time with the Phillies and won the most games. But he won those two World Series with the Red Sox.
The dramatic bloody sock puts the Red Sox ahead by the slightest margin. But if he goes in with the Phillies, that’s reasonable.
The Diamondbacks, Orioles, and Astros do not have convincing cases.

Thanks Curt.
Good luck in the future.

216 win isn’t going to get him in the Hall.
To: Dr. Ursus
I think he will go anyway, if just because he played for the Red Sox. Even Jim Rice made it into the hall. If Rice would have played for anyone other than Yankees or Red Sox, nobody would have ever thought he belonged. Just my humble opinion.
To: Dr. Ursus
3116 strikeouts puts him in decent company (only 16 folks have over 3K). 11-2 post-season record, including 4-1 (2.06 ERA) in 4 World Series.
But there have been no recent pitchers with less than 300 wins selected to the hall (though there are plenty of ones with less than 216).
To: refreshed
Same goes for Schill. He was on a bunch of dogs for most of his career.

He also owns the best career strikeout-to-walk ratio of any pitcher in the modern era (1900-present).
