I thought Sutter was a weak choice to begin with. But when I saw the comparison to John Wetteland, that really brought it home. I've never heard anyone even hint that Wetteland should be in the Hall of Fame. He made it onto less than 1% of the ballots. And I bet less than 10% of current baseball fans have even heard of him. But his stats are almost identical to Sutter's. Yeah, he didn't "invent" the split finger fastball. But Sutter's in the Hall as a player, not an innovator like Candy Cummings.
