So why do people poh-poh Walsh? The White Sox' pitcher?

who are dismissing schilling's HOF chances may be doing so too readily. Of course his current stats aren't going to get him in, but let's say he pitches till he's 40. That gives him four more years, and since he has been so strong the last two, let's say he wins 20 each of those four years, and racks up 300 Ks.

That gives him 235 career W's, and 3500+ K's. Also remember that a few of his seasons with the phillies look on paper much worse than they were - in '92 he was 14-11 with a 2.35 ERA. I would think that if he performs well in this postseason, and perhaps one or two more, and gets the K's up a good bit past 3000, he's got the stats.

Whether he SHOULD go in is a different and to me meaningless question--I would trim the size of the hall by half, but no one's asking me to help .
