Comments on: Curt Schilling to retire http://www.scoresreport.com/2009/03/23/curt-schilling-to-retire/ The National Sports Blog Fri, 17 Feb 2012 19:52:54 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.2 By: T-Bone http://www.scoresreport.com/2009/03/23/curt-schilling-to-retire/#comment-348397 T-Bone Fri, 27 Mar 2009 02:27:07 +0000 http://www.scoresreport.com/?p=15624#comment-348397 The last sentence of this article says all you need to know when it comes to putting this guy in the hall. "But Schilling was one of the better pitchers of his time". Not one of the best pitchers, just better. Is that what the hall of fame means now? The hall of pretty good? It took this guy nearly 20 seasons to get to 200 victories. That's got nothing to do with like or dislike. The only stat he's dominant in is K's which means if you put this guy in, put Bert Blyleven in as well since he has about 70 more W's and 585 more K's in only 2 more seasons, playing for some god awful teams. You can't even use the Koufax argument with this guy because he retired in his prime at the age of 30 in the middle of his best seasons, not some old fat tub of shit that can't stay away from the buffet table. C'mon guys...get real and stop the madness. He was a good pitcher with some nice stats, far from one of the all-time greats.

My guess is that he knows Bono. Shilling is a self promoting bag of wind able to comment on anything…He’s like the movie star who tells you who to vote for but has never voted himself.

As for Petite, he's going to get bit by the steriod issue I think...Funny, he is the anti-Shilling when it comes to self-promotion I think Shilling is a tireless self-promoting bag of wind.

But when you look at his body of work, it's solid: 6-time All-Star 3-time World Series Champ 14th all-time in Ks 80th all-time in wins World Series MVP I don't think Curt Schilling was a dominant pitcher by any means. But he has enough stats to get him in, in my opinion. I hear you on the Schilling W’s per season. But when you look at his body of work, it’s solid:

A guy that averages just over 10 wins a year in the regular season and has never won a Cy Young? If you think this guy belongs, I look forward to your column on Andy Pettitte being a definite hall of famer. Pettitte has a better record (215-127), a better winning% at .629, an 18-7 postseason record, one more ring, and a comparable ERA considering Pettitte (3.89) played nearly all of his career in the AL and Schilling (3.46) played most of his in the NL. Schilling only reached double digit wins in 9 out of 20 seasons. Pettitte has reached double digits in 13 out of 14 and has reached 15 or more victories the same number of times as Schilling, in 6 fewer seasons. Pettitte also finished in the top 10 Cy Young voting more times than Schill. Most people I talk to do not feel Pettitte belongs in the hall. I think he's got more work to do, but so does Schilling.
