And that's if you decide to use all your votes for pitchers. Otherwise I'm not sure he could get it in within the next 40 years. But they keep changing the committee rules so who knows.

Greinke, Kershaw, Sherzer, and Verlander will be on the BBWAA ballot not the Era Committee ballot so they won't impact potential votes for Cicotte. However, you're right that there are many other pitchers (and position players) likely to receive votes before someone decides to vote for him.
