Current Pitchers who will make the HOF??

Jopeal · 08-26-2013, 05:58 PM

After reading this thread:
http://www.blowoutcards.com/forums/b...cher-gone.html

it got me to thinking, which of the current pitchers in the MLB are locks for the Hall?

I'm thinking Rivera and Halladay are locks, with Kershaw and Felix well on their way to HOF careers. If Verlander starts to decline now, I don't think he'll get in.

Is that really it? Two locks and two most likely's?? Who am I missing?

PistolPete7 · 08-26-2013, 06:00 PM

Kershaw is on his way as well

Yaboi07 · 08-26-2013, 06:01 PM

Felix Kershaw Halladay Rivera Sabathia Verlander David price I believe if he stays healthy and keeps pitching well

Davesportscards · 08-26-2013, 06:02 PM

Kershaw
King Felix
Rivera
Sabathia?
Verlander (IF he gets out of this slump for next season)

zonacats8 · 08-26-2013, 06:04 PM

If Verlander can be just average for 5 more seasons he'll be a lock due to his career numbers and the fact that he won an MVP as a pitcher

tajikey · 08-26-2013, 06:04 PM

I am going to go with Rivera and no other, as all the other pitchers are too young to be locked into anything, and haven't yet to best the "worst" pitcher in the Hall of Fame.

shrevecity · 08-26-2013, 06:14 PM

Rivera is the only active I would call a lock, there are several who have been around that could become locks and a few young ones that should they continue to develop they could be. But only one I can say with any confidence is Rivera.

dhendrix1303 · 08-26-2013, 06:25 PM

Rivera. Others could have career ending injury tomorrow and not make it based on current stats.

ninjacookies · 08-26-2013, 06:27 PM

I agree. At this point Rivera is the only one that's a sure lock. His body of work over decades speaks for itself.

Jopeal · 08-26-2013, 06:39 PM

Pretty crazy that there's only one lock considering how many hitters have most likely already punched their tickets.
jeter, pujols, cabrera, ichiro i'd say are locks and there are a lot more who are well on their way

lisu · 08-26-2013, 07:01 PM

I would say that Verlander, Kershaw, and Felix Hernandez are on their way if their careers continue the way they are. Other than that I would say there really isn't anyone else yet. Rivera is a lock.

HeritageKing · 08-26-2013, 07:13 PM

Gotta have Cliff Lee in this group.

bballcollector · 08-26-2013, 07:20 PM

Roy Halladay for sure that man is a innings eater! He pitched for so many bad Toronto teams and did great.

Couldn't have said it better myself

Junior Griffey · 08-26-2013, 07:25 PM

Felix Doubront!

Metsfan1121 · 08-26-2013, 07:26 PM

I think locks:
Rivera
Halladay

Too soon to call, but likely:
Felix
Verlander
Kershaw
Kimbrel
Lee

Really too soon:
Strasburg
Darvish

elijahdf11 · 08-26-2013, 07:27 PM

I really don't feel halladay is a lock. If he can get it so he has at least 100 more wins than loses then yes but now no.

I don't see him as a lock either.

He is definitely in that group with Verlander, Hernandez, Lee and a couple of others but not a lock yet.

Halladay is like a decade older than Felix. And he's had much more success than all of those guys. He's definitely past them.

mweber012 · 08-26-2013, 07:43 PM

Darvish, Kershaw, Verlander and Hernandez are on their way.

This......

lambeauleap87 · 08-26-2013, 08:36 PM

Cliff Lee? Look at his stats...he's got a lot of work to do.

HeritageKing · 08-26-2013, 08:43 PM

Cliff Lee's stats are close, if not better than Felix (who according to this boards is a lock).

Halladay also pitched when everyone was roided up.

JohnAndrew · 08-26-2013, 08:45 PM

I think Rivera is the only lock; Felix and Kershaw are the next most-likely, but it's still too early to tell.
