Any word on how severe the ankle injury was and which one it was? I understand it was a fracture. Often those involve surgery with plates and screws. It seems like he might be facing a tough road back and perhaps with a somewhat limited leg.

I suppose I've always imagined Tim Hudson as being the pitcher so many people seem to think Jack Morris was: the "workhorse ace" type who may never have been the best pitcher in the league, but was the guy who carried a staff on his back for a decade."It is a simple matter to erect a Hall of Fame, but difficult to select the tenants." -- Ken Smith

Tim Hudson entering Hall of Fame territory
Almost a misleading headline, since he spends most of the article softpedaling his case.
Against the Astros in 2004, he took a 6-1 lead into the eighth inning of Game 4, but he and the bullpen couldn’t hold the lead and the Astros eventually won in 18 innings.3 6 10 21 25 29 31 35 41 42 44 47

I don't know... He's pitching pretty damn good at the age of 39. I suppose if he finishes the year with 15 wins, a 125-130 ERA+, and 200+ innings, he'll be in good shape. If he could pitch until 42 or 43 he should be able to compile the stats to appeal to a voter.Rest in Peace Jose Fernandez (1992-2016)

Hudson's chances are respectable, but something tells me that there will be a sea change over the next 20 years over the standards for starting pitchers making the Hall. Every statistical marker we have used for the past few decades might apply through Randy Johnson, Curt Schilling, Pedro Martinez, John Smoltz' or Mike Mussina's eligibility. It seems as if we can debate the merits of these guys as we always have.
But how do we debate the merits when the future candidate pool will be filled with 6-inning pitchers? For pete's sake, Max Scherzer is hitting stride in his prime and he has yet to pitch a complete game in his career!
My guess is that Tim Hudson will be on the so-called right side of history. His timing will be his friend.Catfish Hunter, RIP. Mark Fidrych, RIP. Skip Caray, RIP. Tony Gwynn, #19, RIP

It seems like he has recovered nicely from what I thought might be a career ending injury. 7-3 2.39 ERA as we near the All Star break. I see his K?BB is way above his career norms. His HR/9 and K/9 are around his normal numbers. He has cut his BB/9 more or less in half from the mid 2s to 1.3. If that is not some random thing he could really make a run at the HOF, especially if, as noted, expectations on career numbers move by the time he is eligible. Right now he is in the never never land between guys like Cone and Tiant.
