I guess I'm just reading the stats differently for Reulbach. He WAS the Cubs dominant pitcher for several years...yes, better than Mordecai Brown. And though ERA was generally low during the years he pitched (14 yrs - doesn't seem like a short career to me), the same number of teams had to lose as win, and his W-L percentage was certainly HOF-caliber - 182-106. I don't consider him a borderline player at all. The ones you listed (Niekro,Sutton) are borderline, and guys like Blyleven and Santo don't even make it on the map.
