CC Sabathia Hall of Fame worthy?

[stevenash]

Is CC Sabathia a Hall of Famer?
Won the Cy Young Award in 2007, finished in the top five in the Cy Young balloting five times.
Six time All Star.
Became just the 14th pitcher ever to strike out more than 3000 batters and win more than 250 games. Of the 14 pitchers that achieved those numbers 13 are in Cooperstown.
Led the league in wins twice.
Solid career WH/IP of 1.25
Carried Milwaukee on their back into the playoffs going 11-2 with a 1.65 ERA.

I lean yes to the Hall of Fame, solid career.

[Itsamazing777]

yes in

[TheMoneyShot]

I would say yes.... might take awhile.

Agreed

[MinnesotaFats]

Yes

With Blyleven and Morris in the 255-285 win range and less prestigious stats CC gets the nod

[clockwise1965]

Yes

[t-wizzle]

Yes he’s a lock.

[jrgum3]

His numbers put him in the HOF. When that’ll be remains to be seen but he’s going to get in.

[pimike]

Yes

[VeggieDog]

A case could be made either way, but I think he'll get in one way or another.

[The Kraken]

He’s MLB’s Judas Priest, but he’ll get in, eventually

[209 Life]

CC will be in HOF

[Cuse0323]

Absolutely. Longevity, and always above average. Dominant for a period from 2007-2012. All around good enough career for the Hall. How long it takes for the writer dweebs to let him in, is a whole other question.

[TheMetsSuck]

he's only the third lefty ever to reach 3000 k's. not sure how he doesn't get in.....lock

[rm18]

Was only good for like 5 years but probably due to career numbers, also was a good hitter in his prime small plus.

[2daBank]

He’s too fat

[kingdom]

He’s too fat

[LT Profits]

He’s too fat

[sweethook]

with out pete rose there is no hall . bbhof is a friendship group of ' wannbe good hitters '

[juicername]

Need to lose 50 lbs before he can be considered. Can't fit into a tuxedo now.

[BarkingToad]

Career ERA close to 4, quits on his team right before 2015 playoffs when he was pitching very well, NO

[MrSink]

the legend

[pablo222]

Will that other fat pitcher get in too?
Numbers aren't too much better than him.
And Colon smacked a bunch of homers.

He did not "quit on his team", he went into rehab. That can only be seen as a positive, although it will probably be ignored by HOF voters.

[JIBBBY]

He should enter into a hot dog eating contest.. Fat pig..

Hmmm.

Joey Chestnut -155
CC Sabathia +135

Same thing, he couldn't have waited a few weeks? He was pitching his best baseball in years at the time and since. I don't understand how you view this as a positive. He went that long collecting fat checks, wait until playoffs were over, he had 6+ months to rehab.

[FOREVER HUSKERS]

CC first ballot hall of famer. May be a bit rotund but doesn't need a golf cart to get around in a professional setting ie John Daly. And CC doesn't smoke. Cigs

[JIBBBY]

Hmmm.

Joey Chestnut -155
CC Sabathia +135

Chestnut always hard to beat, CC has a chance though, great odds for CC.. ..

1501 Joey Chestnut wins Nathan's Contest

-900

1502 Field wins Nathan's Contest

+500

Are you insane? He obviously felt that it was imperative that he check himself in before he drank himself to death, he would not have done it otherwise. That takes priority over everything else 100% of the time and it is not even debatable. Fact that he did it while pitching his best ball only further emphasizes how desperate he was to seek help, kudos to him for that.
