I want to vote for Felix Hernandez but I don't think I can. He's in that Johan Santana tier. Amazing when he had it. But he just didn't have it for long enough.

There are some good players on the list. Just not Hall of famers.
I have Felix and CC relatively even. They both had 6-7 year runs. CC only had one season with an ERA under 3.00; Felix had three. I don't think I'd vote for either. :patrice:

CC got 250 wins he should be first ballot.

90s and early 00s pitchers gonna look like how we viewed CY Young era. Because aint nobody under 30 is winning 200 games in my lifetime

CC's numbers just don't compare to the best of this era: Verlander, Scherzer and Kershaw.

I won't be shocked if he eventually gets in but I wouldn't vote for him.

I'm putting in Ichiro and CC.

I never saw much of Felix, he spent all his career in Seattle and he might as well have been playing on Jupiter.

Every time I did see him he was always mid, never won 20 games, just always came off as mid:ld:

Ichiro the GOAT is getting in with 99.99% :lawd:
