Justin Verlander

First ballot hall of famer? Best pitcher of his generation?

If he keeps on track for a few more years, sure. Don't know if he's the best of his generation. Even though he's had a bad year Lincecum would be good competition for that, Halladay also. I think the best pitcher currently and just edges out Verlander is King Felix, who is handcuffed by playing for a horrible organization. I would love for the Rangers to find a way to acquire him.

I think you're putting the cart before the horse here.

It sure is fun to watch him pitch.

If I were starting a team today, he would be the guy I would take first.

If he keeps going the way he has/is he should be a 1st balloter.

I got to see him pitch a no-hitter going into the 9th inning earlier this season against the Pirates. He's an amazing pitcher to watch.

He needs to pitch about 6-8 more years at a high level for that to happen.

The guy only has six full years in the league thus far. If he keeps on his current pace he could be hovering around 240 wins at the age of 35. He seems smart enough to still remain a great pitcher even when he losses his heat. If he doesn't, he could pitch into his forties and end up with well over 300 wins given that he is pitching for a good team.

HoF right now? Not yet, if he keeps up his pace, he could easily be a first ballot guy.

Yeah I guess the baseball HoF is more about numbers than about dominance. But he seems to get stronger as he goes into games so it's hard to imagine him not pitching for a decent amount of years.

He is a Great pitcher thats for sure.
