Andy Pettitte is a hall of famer--I don't want to hear it...

[will2survive]

He doesnt' need 300 wins to enter the hallowed halls of Cooperstown.Multiple championships,clutch performances,being a competitor that you want in a pivotal moment,and conducting himself like a gentleman says to me....ANDY PETTITTE HALL OF FAMER-----I don't want to hear about HGH--Pettitte's grit and perserverance carved out a great career for himself.A true class act and an enjoyment to watch.

Granted it will take him a while but he should get in and he's also maintaining his performance level into his late 30's

[Chi_archie]

I don't know....

guy wasn't even an all-star too much.....


Hall of Fame should be reserved for GREAT players in their era as compared to their contemporaries.... not above avg guys that had longevity and played on good teams

[BIGDAY]

It should only be for the great, period.

[str]

Numbers only,he seems a little short.
Yankees will help but ....I would say,not quite.

[2daBank]

1st off he really doesnt have the numbers, second and i dont care if you want to hear it or not if they are gonna keep out Bonds, big mac, Clemons, great HOF players that juiced how the fukk can you argue this guy who isnt even one of the greatest but also cheated should get in?

[will2survive]

He admitted a mistake and I don't think that he was an abuser

[Deuce]

[2daBank]

He admitted a mistake and I don't think that he was an abuser

that is a joke, you can not pick and choose which cheaters you LIKE to get in....personally im not convinced juicers shouldnt get in but as long as that is how it is gonna go no Bonds then no one with any link to anything should get in period....

[will2survive]

It depends on the situation.The records haven't been taken down.Are we going to prevent any of these players from entering the HOF.Bonds was an easy HOF'er before he juiced it up.

[2daBank]

He admitted a mistake and I don't think that he was an abuser

maybe you can start a Hall of best apologies/excuses and you can name the damn thing after him....or acting HOF...

like i said im not arguing that juicers shouldnt get in, personally i say so what but that is not the way it seems to be looking at the moment and there are way more deserving juicers out there than Pettitte, you can not pick and choose and if your gonna pick and choose the criteria should not be who you thinks apology is the most exceptable

[rm18]

Bonds should make the hall of fame, he was already in the hall in 1999

[2daBank]

i agree....then again they still keeping Pete fukkin Rose out!!!!!!!!!!!

[Chi_archie]

do you want mike mussina in there too?

[str]

do you want mike mussina in there too?

Pretty sure Mussina is a lock.

[stealthyburrito]

numbers aren't even that great to get him in, and the admittance and link to clemens only makes his candidacy an uphill battle.

[will2survive]

Mussina's stats are better but Andy is a big game pitcher and a champion ---multiple times

[BobHarvey]

will,

You've got a better chance of getting the HOF.

[Doug]

numbers aren't even that great to get him in, and the admittance and link to clemens only makes his candidacy an uphill battle.

He's nearly 100 games over .500

He would be a lock without the roids.

[gryfyn1]

Andy is a big game pitcher and a champion ---multiple times

Actually Pettite is very average in the playoffs - sure he's 18-9 in 40 starts but thats a function of being a good pithcer on a great team - he only avergae 6 IP/ start, has a ho-hum 3.90 ERA; 1.33 WHIP; and a poor 5.9 K/9 - and he worse in the WS 5-4 with a 4.06 ERA; 5.5 IP/S, 1.40 WHIP in 13 starts - so he's not a "big game" pitcher

I guess hes a "multiple time champion" but so Scott Brocious, Ricky Ledee and Ramiro Mendoza -- and none of them are headed to the Hall -

Pettite has been consistently good on very good teams, a feat unto itself - He isn't as good as Mussina was, and I don't think Moose is hall worthy either -

[stealthyburrito]

What? are you being serious?? and that has nothing to do with pitching with the YANKEES for most of his career.

there are at least half a dozen pitchers with ERAs a half point better than him that are not in the hall buddy.

[Andy117]

Not a HOFer to me. Good pitcher, not great and not nearly as "clutch" as some think.

[GRUMPERZ]

no chance in hell

not even that great with plenty of pitchers from his era ahead of him... I'm not saying all these guys will make it, but they are ahead of him in the pecking order.. HGH scandal added to this gives him literally 0 chance

Clemens
Maddux
Glavine
Johnson
Pedro
Santana
Mussina
Schilling

[LT Profits]

Is this thread a joke?

Pettitte may be a nice guy, but he has ZERO chance of making Hall.

[jjgold]

One of best clutch players of all times

He will get in

[Jedi]

i think somebody has a little crush on Andie boy

[Sledge187]

Words to describe Andy Pettitte.
Cheater, Trader, Rat and Coward.

[cro]

no chance

[DrunkHorseplayer]

Good pitcher on a great team; even without the steroid factor, he doesn't belong.

You must be Andy Pettite Jr or Andy Pettite II, or Andy Pettite III. Or George Steinbrenner.

[tbill11]

As much as I hate the Yankees, Pettitte is the one Yank I'd want to see in the HOF. But, if he gets in then hands down Jamie Moyer should get in too. They were the two most consistent left-handed pitchers of the last 20 years, and consistency definitely would count if I had a vote.
