His being in the Hall implies he's an all-time great.
I suppose you could argue that Eck has more career value than Sutter but that's just because he has a decade+ of mediocre years as a starter. Sutter, who also doesn't belong in the Hall, was clearly a better reliever than Eck.
Didn't mean to put words in your mouth.
