Tim Hudson to 200 Wins



It feels like we just discussed this topic. Like Roy Halladay did earlier in the season, Tim Hudson hit the 200 Win mark, which propelled baseball pundits to again ask if this plateau is considered Hall of Fame worthy. As we discussed with Halladay, the “Win” in baseball does not have the same lustre it used to, and it is a harder stat for starting pitchers to come by. Still, when someone hits that 200 mark, as Hudson just did, we have to ask if that hurler is a Hall of Fame pitcher or is he on his way.


Hudson might be Cooperstown bound, but unlike Halladay, we are not ready to pencil him in just yet. Although he has never won the Cy Young Award, he did finish in the top five three times, including the runner up slot in 2000. In seasons where he has been healthy, Hudson has frequently appeared in the top ten in major and sabremetrical categories showing a very consistent career. It may not be flashy, but it is a path that should put him in serious Cooperstown discussions.

We would like to congratulate Tim Hudson on achieving this statistical milestone, and we are sure he has more to come.
