so your argument is all about public perception? the public are mostly morons, their opinion means nothing.

King Felix would have to pitch 8 more years at a 4 WAR pace to equal Schilling's production. He may do that as he is a great arm, but history says he won't.

Maybe you should read my other replies where I pointed out why Felix at 31 has nothing in common with Schilling at 31.

Let's be honest, we have no clue if we're watching a Hall of Famer or not. That's for most players in the game. About four or five players are Hall of Famers if they retired today. The rest have either more to do or a lot more to do.

pretty much, which is why people should not compare active players to retired players, one has a body of work we can compare to other greats, the other is a work in progress

I just don't know about Pudge being a Hall of Famer. Did he take anything? Was Canseco right? When asked if he took or not, why would he say, "Only God knows"

Pudge went from a mini Lou Ferrigano to a normal sized guy in 1 off season when testing was announced. Claimed he lost all the muscle to extend his career.LOL

I can't believe Jorge Posada gets only 3 percent of the vote and falls off after one ballot. He deserved better.

So we likely get four next year - Vlad, Hoffman, Chipper and Thome.
