Sure shot Hall of Famer? I'm not so sure about that. I'd say he's borderline.
I agree. I wouldn't say he's a shoe-in.
He's borderline, but 270 wins is a lot in his era. His winning pct. is extremely good, and he had several outstanding postseason starts earlier in his career. He did play on quite a few winning teams though, but he was a big contributor. The 20 win season helps him a lot because I think some voters would have passed over him for never winning the Cy Young AND never winning 20. I bet he slips in eventually. I couldn't argue against him.
I would like to see Bert Blyleven get in first though.
