Uh, huh. Because every HOF pitcher is Greg Maddux or Bob Gibson? The bar has always been relatively low, and frankly, is probably higher now. Without scanning the entire list of inductees, here are some pitchers who seem to indicate that Sabathia belongs. (I even threw in a couple 300-game winners.) I’m not saying these were bad pitchers by any means, but they’re not exactly Pedro Martinez or Steve Carlton. Red Ruffing Jack Morris Jim Bunning Eppa Rixey Herb Pennock Burleigh Grimes Catfish Hunter Rube Marquard Bert Blyleven Don Sutton Early Wynn And there are a whole bunch of position players who wouldn’t get in now, or only got in because of lax Veterans committee standards. These are just a handful off the top of my head: Bill Mazeroski Lloyd Waner Nellie Fox Luis Aparicio George Kell Harold Baines It’s certainly a stretch to say Sabathia would instantly be one of the worst HOFers.
