You’re a lifelong baseball fan as are most of us from USA here. I think you just kind of know when someone is a hall of famer or not. JR Richard I think could have been, I just don’t think he did enough of it. His peak wasn’t peaky enough. To me guys like Don Sutton and Baines and Blyleven, I don’t think they should be in. Sutton to me is the poster boy for accumulating stats. I don’t care what his career numbers are, was he ever dominant?

Wow, at nearly the same time. Get out of my head Frank, you really don't want to be there

With Sutton, you can't deny 324 wins. And you shouldn't be punished for being consistent and taking care of his body.

In 23 seasons Sutton got 20 or more wins once during a time when good pitchers routinely got to 20. He finished as high as third in Cy Young voting once, fourth once and fifth twice. He had a remarkably consistent yet unspectacular career. So bravo, he avoided the DL in a long career. Whoop de doooo!
