I'm pretty sure he's the only pitcher in history to pitch that long and never finish below .500.

Andy Pettitte has never finished below .500, although he stands at 7-8 this season.

If you compare Tim Hudson's number's to those of existing Hall of Fame members, he's as good or better than a number of pitchers. Unfortunately, many of the voters believe they need to raise the Hall of Fame's standards by holding modern players to a higher standard. I think it's a bunch of baloney, but I realize I'm in the minority here. I say open the floodgates.

I'm with you- I think that he could get in depending on how voters see the steroid-users...

I guess Pettite qualifies because he wasn't below .500, but he was 14-14 in 2008. Hudson has been over .500 his entire career. 100 wins above loses is considered HOFer. He's at 94. Never a losing season. I think he should be in.
