I've always thought he was a lock but I heard a dude on XM radio say he had about a 25% chance of getting in. I was kind of shocked.

Getting in the HOF as a pitcher is insane. I think his overall resume will get him in but his career and peak WARs really aren't close

6 time AS
1 CY Young
1 MVP

1 time ERA leader
4 time Strike out leader
188 wins
2 time league leader in wins


yeah I would say borderline despite the 2 years of complete dominance he had

It shouldn't matter as much, but I think he REALLY needed that Cy Young last year. Two Cy Youngs along with his MVP would have really separated him. I don't know that he has the stuff still to win another at his age. He's really competitive when he's in the mound, but I'm not sure how long he'll stick around to add to his counting stats. If he pitches 5-6 more healthy years, I think that'll be enough.

There is only one active pitcher who is a HOFer and that's Clayton Kershaw. Every other pitcher including Verlander has a lot of work left to do.

I think if he continues to pitch well, gets another CY Young, and wins a title or two in Houston, I think that would do it.
