I don't think Hudson was worse. In my opinion, there are more non-HOF-worthy pitchers in the HOF than any other position.
I love arguing about the HOF - HOF minimalists like me have the luxury of knowing that all of our players are in, whereas guys on the other end of the spectrum are disappointed. It was really rough listening to Twins and Cubs fans complain 10-15 years ago about being overlooked, as those two teams have had more not-quite-great players than any others.
