      That's the order I have them in, too. I don't know exactly what rank each is, but it's that order. I can say that I see each of them as a top 100 pitcher all-time and that I think anyone in the top 100 pitchers after 149 seasons belongs in Cooperstown.

        I have:

        CC
        Hudson
        Pettitte
        Buehrle

        Pettitte consistently trails Hudson in most rate/value stats. By rate/value/win probability, Hudson and CC are very similar, while Pettitte is a notch below and Buehrle another notch down.

          My heart tells me Hudson > Sabathia from the '3 Aces' A's days but I think C.C. is certainly ahead. I'd have Buehrle ahead of Pettitte.

            The problem is what in his career stands out. He does have 3 top 5 CY finishes and that looks good until you realize that is 3 in 17 years. He won 20 games one year but his ERA was 4.14 and the year he won 18 games his ERA was 3.37. So he has some good things going for him but when you look closer they are not as great as they seem.

              Sabathia
              Hudson
              Pettite
              Beuhrle

              Sabathia was the best of the group due to not only having longevity, but a nice peak as well. From 2007-2011 he was95-40 with a 142 ERA+ and 240 IP per season. He also had several more good years outside his peak, though his 2013-2015 stretch is very problematic. He comes across as an underachiever: a guy who should have breezed past 300 wins and should have gotten more strikeouts due to his immense size.

              Hudson also seems like somewhat of an underachiever, an ace in his early days but never really put it all together. He was over .500 every season until his very last two seasons. Reminds me of Mike Mussina with a shorter career.

              Pettite has overall numbers similar to Sabathia, but never really came across as an 'ace'. A ton of pretty good seasons, but only two or three standout ones. The PED issue further muddies his waters.

              Buehrle is another guy who never came across as an ace, and never had a 'peak' to speak of.. He was a reliable 200 IP guy who never missed time. He amazingly was only under .500 one time (12-13 in 2006) but he was usually AROUND .500.

              None of these guys are HOFers to me.

                From Jay Jaffes 2021 HOF ballot series:

                A key component of nine playoff teams for three franchises, Hudson often had hard luck in October.


                Even if we don't agree with his methodologies, he writes a fine recap of a players career.

                If he doesn't make it, I hope Huddy last 10 years on the ballot and has a chance to be elected by the VC in his lifetime, grey area but good enough for me HOF type guy.

                  My sentiments pretty much exactly.
                  They don’t think it be like it is, but it do.

                    Tim Hudson did not make the cut on his 2nd year on the BBWAA ballot. His results were:

                    2021 5.2%
                    2022 3.0%

                    What do we think are his future chances with the Era/Today's Game Committee??

                    In the meantime, found this 2001 A's-Yankees playoff duel between Huddy and Andy Pettitte on YT:
                    2001 MLB ALDS Game 2 Oakland @ NY Yankees - YouTube
                    A's would take the game, but Yanks would come back to win the series.

                      Sabathia an underachiever? I have no doubt he could have thrown more innings and CG too but he wasn't allowed. Pretty sure he finished like 10 games in half a season with Milwaukee. Hudson never put it all together? Buehrle never came across as an ace? I watched the White Sox a ton on WGN until like 2011 and Buehrle was most definitely an ace. If we want to talk pitchers under achieving due to being neutered by management and thus depriving them and us of their full greatness lets talk about Strasburg, deGrom and that generation.

                        and
                        It's a matter of perspective. Sure, Sabathia, Hudson, and Buehrle had great careers compared to 99% of major leaguers...but we are talking about the HOF level here. Sabathia was an undercahiever in the sense that he had 205 wins through age 32 and didn't come close to 300. Hudson never won a CY award, won 20 games once (with a 4.14 ERA), and had consistent 16-10 3.20 type of seasons. Buehrle was a lesser version of Hudson, being consistently good but never really great.

                            Right I understand that you think (particularly) Hudson and Buehrle underachieved but they were aces for perennial pennants contenders. Buehrle was drafted in the 38th round and became the ace for the White Sox first pennant winner since 1917, instrumental in their postseason success, a face of the club and one of the best pitchers in team history. Guess you saw something else watching all those starts on WGN. Not an ace? Underwhelming

                              Being the best pitcher on a team doesn't necessarily mean that someone is an 'ace' type of pitcher. Eddie Lopat was probably the best pitcher on great Yankee teams in the 1940s and 1950s, but was he really an 'ace' type of guy? Likewise Andy Pettite. Buehrle had exactly three seasons in his career with under a 3.50 ERA (never better than 3.12), and twice had an ERA+ better than 130, with his best at 144. This is not indicative of a HOF pitcher, nor of a true 'ace'. More like a solid number 2 guy with a couple of really good seasons, who may make the HOF if he has a lot of longevity.

                                All but Buehrle are BORDERLINE HOFers in my book.

                                Hudson, like Sabathia, are in an area where some are in and some are not. They are, career-wise, a little better than Billy Pierce, who is borderline. How much better than Billy Pierce do you have to be in order to be a clear-cut HOFer?
