No way. He always ran his mouth about the roids, while posting better numbers once he got past the age of 30. Besides not being remotely close numbers wise, I bet he was a roided up hypocrite.

He had to adjust his pitching style and he still had good years.

Say what you want about Curt, Yes he's is outspoken and sometimes should just shut up, but he's a straight shooter. Plus he's a video gamer as well. He's ok in my book. lol

He's a big gamer, so that gets him in in my book.

And when I say gamer, I don't mean baseball. He's big into MMOs.

Like I said, he doesn't have the stats.

But he'll get in, the media loves him.

Is Jim Thome a HOF'er?

I don’t think so, nor do I think they are even close in their respective categories either.

Thome is 14th in career homers, Schilling is 15th in strikeouts and 80th in wins.

schill will get hurt by the win total. IMO and yes blyleven should get in 1st

Thome is 230th in all-time career hits.

Third on the all-time strikeout list.

A career .229 post season batting average.

I dont see the comparison.

Blyleven will get in, if he wasn’t such a dickbag he would already be in.

yeah, no question, he was always tough to hit, he's a winner, imb.

Of course. Not even a debate.

i agree, but that shouldnt matter IMO

Comparing the two I'd give the edge to Schilling, but not by too much.

Thome is to HR's as Schilling is to K's, and Thome will move up the list this season. Thome also has always been an OBP monster. His postseason avg sucks but his HR's and RBI are strong.

Neither, IMO, are HOF worthy, but they've both been very good players.

And both will probably go in.

If you were to take away all of Roger Clemens' Cy Youngs and give 'em to a pitcher that wasn't tainted by reports of steroid use, how many of them would go to Schill? That, and he's started a company to create his own online role-playing game.

I'd vote him and his sock in.
