Schilling retires..

So is he a Hall of Famer?

I think so. 200+ wins and a 3.46 ERA is not exactly the BEST line. (I think 350+ wins is a lock) But judging by all the history (bloody sock, cornerstone to comeback win, dynasty) I think he will be able to make it in. We all know Selig, and how big he is with image. Well, Schilling's image is one of the best out there, pitching in times with Bonds, Sosa, Clemens, Etc.. He is one of the TRUE great pitchers. So I believe it is... Schilling + Stats = No Hall... BUT.. Schilling + Stats + Variables = Hall. I think it would be great to see him in

I'm iffy on the Hall thing. I would say no stats wise, but you are right he broke the curse with the Red Sox and then the sock thing and all of that. Also him coming out hard on the steroid users and all that. He may be one of the few pitchers that wasn't using the roids during the 90's.

    • This.  He knows where the seam is about to open, cuts, and accelerates hard. He’s slippery and tacklers always seem to be taking awkward angles to get to him. No dancing. Runs low and powerful. Almost never goes backwards for a loss. We’ve rarely had the guy who bounces off of tacklers. It’s nice seeing another one. 
    • I can't speak for others but yes I read it. The conclusions are based heavily around the use of the statistical metric DYAR created by football outsiders and used by ESPN for this article. It only includes players whose production began in 2000. But excluding HOF running backs who produced BIG in an iteration of the NFL that was not yet catered to making things much easier for offenses in order for them to prop up more recent candidates is rather absurd and seems like just playing favorites regardless of where one might fall on their opinion of the use of the metric in question. 
    • Same thing I first thought but then I saw it was against Jacksonville and took about half a second of playing to know. I was at that game.  I can't tell you my level of excitement when I saw it was Delhomme instead of Peete who came out for the 2nd half. Delhomme has and will probably always be my favorite Panther.
