is CC Sabathia a hall of famer?

[ProBoxingInsidr]

Heard this discussed yesterday. he will hit 250 wins this year or next. he has the 3rd most k's for a left hander all time. both quite impressive. however, for me he has been mediocre for so log, i just forget how good he was. by todays standards, especially since he was a yankee (even though Mussina could be argued) i see him getting in. i dont think so, what say you guys?

239-146 w-l 3.69 era 2862 k's 1 cy young

If he hits 250 wins and 3k’s he’ll eventually get in.

but should he?

alcohol of famer

 

[XThe GreatestX]

mmmmm. probably

 

[ThinkGreen]

Probably, although I never consider him a “great pitcher”. Those numbers don’t lie though.

 

[ralphc1]

His chances might have been better if he retired earlier. He hasn't been as impressive the last few seasons and those are the freshest in people's minds.

He's a weird case. I have no idea and won't argue it either way

He was actually good last year and is somehow still good so far this year. You've got it reversed - it his longevity that's helping his cause towards it

I would say no, but if they still have the Old Timers vote (they keep changing and reducing their influence) in 20+ years he'll have a chance. He was only a great pitcher for a few years and even that peak wasn't blow you away impressive. Old timers committee historically loves longevity numbers though.

Last year the Yankees did a good job of pulling him at the right time and holding the lead. Only reason his record was impressive at all. He wasn't even a 6 inning starter. I really don't think he has much left to add to his legacy.

When Milwaukee had him in 2008 he was unstoppable.

That was half a season. He was an excellent pitcher for about 6 or 7 years and has some solid career numbers. I just don't think it's a HOF career, because outside of those seasons he's average or just slightly above it in his early years and below average in his later ones.

If you’re a kid would you wanna be like a fat baseball player? Didn’t think so.

[Graves The Elder]

I mean, he's no Colon.

 

[Partlow]

I think he will, but it’ll be a long time before he gets in

I can think of 80 million reasons why they might.

CC Sabathia net worth:
$80 Million

 

[Baba Ghanoush]

but should he?

What would be the argument otherwise? If there's no disparaging controversy the numbers will ultimately speak for themselves in due time.

 

[TeTe]

I was just talking about this the other day with a friend.

It's going to be close since his win total is high for modern day baseball.

But the ERA is a bit lackluster. One Cy Young does help.

I honestly can't say with him, but giving the benefit of the doubt, I'd say he gets in.

 

[Frank23]

3.69 ERA and climbing. I would say no.

Add the 2 rings he will get this season and next and he's a lock.
