Glavine merely has 89 more wins. To me, Schilling is close, but out.

There’s a reason that win/loss record has been relegated to the back seat of the stat bus.

Linceum - NO

Mussina - NO

Schilling - NO

Pettite - NO

Linceum has the personal hardware the other two don't have.  Schilling has the post-season glory the other two don't have. Mussina has more high level career consistency than the other two.  Petitte has a mixture of all four. All of them Hall of Very Good......but not elite/ELITE. 

 

ETA: Schilling is probably the one who deserves to be in over the other three (despite never winning personal hardware).....but HOF have always had a political side about them.  TO was unquestionably a first ballot Hall of Famer in the NFL.  He didn't get in because he was perceived as a tool.  I'm sure Schilling takes the same heat; from both the writers and the veterans.  He'd eventually get it from the veterans if he campaigned.  But since he doesn't seem interested, he probably won't get in.

Schilling probably would’ve gotten in if he didn’t ask to have his name removed.  He got 71% of votes in 2021.  Then asked to have his name removed…it wasn’t, but I’m sure voters didn’t vote for him because of that.

Pettite tested positive for PED’s.  That’s a no from me dawg

Forgot about that one.  Yeah, he shouldn' be in.

Mussina is already in the HOF so doesn't really matter if anyone doesn't think he belongs.  He's in.
