The 10 year rule is only for being elected. The veterans committee can do whatever they want.

Addie Joss is in the HoF and he only pitched 8.5 years. Sandy Koufax technically had 12 seasons, but that was only because he was a bonus baby and the Dodgers had to keep him on the roster. His first 2 years he had < 20 appearances each and he was marginal for the next couple seasons.

Definitely yes. 4 MVPs is a no brainer even if he only played five years.
