However, when was the issue ever about pitchers who've reached a certain point? I mean, you got a great spread of Hall of Fame starters with win numbers from 145-511 here. W-L is VERY useless to decide if someone like Don Drysdale or Jack Morris or Dennis Martinez or David Wells or Vida Blue should be in the Hall. So what's the use of it?
