If you compare Tim Hudson's number's to those of existing Hall of Fame members, he's as good or better than a number of pitchers. Unfortunately, many of the voters believe they need to raise the Hall of Fame's standards by holding modern players to a higher standard. I think it's a bunch of baloney, but I realize I'm in the minority here. I say open the floodgates. If a pitcher was as good as Jesse Haines, Eppa Rixey, Chief Bender, Lefty Gomez or a bunch of other guys, he should get in ...

I'm with you- I think that he could get in depending on how voters see the steroid-users...

I guess Pettite qualifies because he wasn't below .500, but he was 14-14 in 2008. Hudson has been over .500 his entire career. 100 wins above loses is considered HOFer. He's at 94. Never a losing season. I think he should be in.

Pettitte is better than Hudson. Pettitte is 102 wins over losses. Pettite likely will not make the HOF. Hudson won't either. IMO.

Tim Hudson couldn't carry Dave Stewart's jock strap.

In Hudson and Pettitte, I see two very good pitchers who were able to play the game for a long time and produce fairly consistant numbers each season. Neither pitcher is viewed as the best, or was the best at their position at any point of their career. I'm not even sure if they were ever a top 10, certainly not top 5 at their position as a pitcher. Each of us has differing opinions on critera for the Hall, and I look for players truely dominant at their position, and widely viewed as the best at their craft over a period of time. When you think of the position, this is the player you think of. I don't see that in Hudson or Pettitte.

Neither would he want to I imagine.
