2 Cy Young’s

3 World Series titles

4 all star games

2 no hitters

3 times NL strikeout leader.

How many two time Cy Young winners won’t or aren’t in the Hall of Fame?

It isn't the brightest star. Or the longest career.
The HOF is reserved for the vest of both.

Clemens falls under the “juiced” umbrella.

Big time Timmy Jim

He was incredible for like a 4 year stretch but 110-89 3.74 ERA isn’t sniffing the HOF in any era

Clemens
Saberhagen
Johan Santana
Denny McClain


Lincecum had a great 4 year stretch but it wasn't a hall of fame career


ETA: Do you think Johan Santana is a hall of famer? He also had a stretch with 2 Cys in 4 years and the numbers are remarkably similar to Lincecums over his 4 year run.

Lincecum

Santana


If you'll click the start year and the end year in their stats, it'll automatically totally the stats in that range. They're wildly similar for those 4 year scratches


Lincecum 08-11

Santana 04-07

I saw multiple Lincecum vs Ubaldo Jimenez matchups at Coors Field from right behind the on deck circles several times. Both were in their primes at the same time. It was a pleasure to watch.

2006 Golden Spikes winner. I’m still pissed at the Mariners for passing on the hometown prospect in that year’s draft.

I will be the guy to say that too many pitchers and not enough hitters get into the HOF...

Because his prime wasn't long enough and his career stats weren't good.

His career was not very good besides a couple of seasons.
