his 286 wins has to count for something,caruthers is a good choice along with other 19th century pitchers jim mccormick 264 wins,charles buffington 230,will white 227wins/2.06 era.....according to the book i have,caruthers has the 5th highest winning % ever with guys over 100 wins,spud chandler 717,whitey ford 690,dave fultz 690,don gullett 686,caruthers 682...the only problem with caruthers i think is his short career,he only pitched 9 years(he played outfield 1 year),but he was good none the less....im sure if the people on this board voted for the hall,it would definitely look alot different for the better
