How the hell is Schilling not a lock for the hall?

I've said for years that Don Drysdale is the Joe Namath of the baseball HOF. He was an ironman for about 7-8 years. But he had one (maybe two) dominant years, and only had three seasons where he was better than +4 W/L.
He's basically Roy Halliday with 60 more losses. And Drysdale pitched in a high-mound/no dominant hitter era while Halliday pitched at the decline of the Steroid Era.

Smoltz and Mussina.
You didn't include Smoltz' saves. They are necessary for his case, and really close it in his favor.

Yup. Purposefully failing to tell the whole story

Personally I think the save portion is overrated, while the rest of the pitchers were pitching 3x the inning which helps their teams more than the 60-70 innings Smoltz was pitching then.

But remember, Smoltz only switched to the bullpen because he was recovering from Tommy John surgery. He ended up doing well and filled a team need thus stayed in the pen for four years.

He came back in 01 was ineffective as a starter so the Braves moved him to the pen. He stayed there 3 years (took over closer role from Rocker towards end of 01 I believe)
As the article states and I believe it, any elite starter can be a dominant closet if given the opportunity. Smoltz does have a CY Young where Mussina and Schilling don't which seperates him and he was part of a dominant Braves rotation. With Maddux/Glavine going in i think it helps Smoltz.

Schiling and Smoltz are 2 of the GOAT playoff pitchers and should be 100% HOF locks
Brown is fringe
No to Mussina and Cone

You'd have to include Smoltz's saves but that would give him away.
