Default I consider him more like Eckersley

So I'd say absolutely. he was considered by many of his peers to be one of if not the toughest pitcher they faced, when he was in his prime. I must admit though I am fairly lenient on who I would put in the Hall. I see it as a place to tell the history of the game and I feel he belongs as part of the story of baseball in the era he pitched.
