A few years ago it seemed pretty improbable that Curt Schilling would find himself anywhere near the HOF because of all of his injuries and the fact that he was a late bloomer- he just didn't seem to have the career numbers to get in. However, as he nears the completion of a 20+ win season in '04 it's time to revisit his credentials.
If he can win 20 again in '05, he'll be over 200 wins. More importantly, he's on pace to pass 3,000 K's in late '05 or early '06. His post-season record is stellar, and if he can help carry Boston into the World Series this year, his reputation as one of the all-time big game pitchers will be even more solid.
I don't know how many wins he'll finish with, he's already surpassed anyone's best expectations over the last few years, but he's real close to pushing himself over the bubble if you ask me.
