I was looking over Hudson's career numbers, especially his won-loss record of 197-103. How many more wins would he need to be considered a serious candidate?

<< <i>OK, so Tim Hudson yesterday pitched like... well, Tim Hudson. He now sits at 206 wins against 111 losses. At 38, does he have enough time to get to 300 wins? Probably not. But, if he gets to 250 with a winning percentage of well over .600, is that good enough for the HOF? >>
Is Mike Mussina a Hall of Famer?
Mussina: 3562.2 ip, 270 - 153 (.638 WL%), 3.68 era, 1.192 whip
Hudson: 2821.1 ip, 206-111 (.650 WL%), 3.44 era, 1.231 whip

Definitely.
<< <i>Here's my next question: Hudson has had fifteen consecutive winning seasons to start his career and has never had a losing or .500 season. Has anyone else done this to start their career? >>
Only person I could think of that comes close is ANDY PETTITTE. In his entire 18 years of pitching he never had a losing season ... although in years 14 & 18 he was .500.

Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.
Name.........IP.........ERA+
Hudson...2,821......124
Mussina..3,562......123
K. Brown.3,256......127
Schilling..3,261......127
SMoltz....3,473......125
He is about 500-700 innings behind those guys. Most likely, that ERA+ drops more by time he catches up to those guys in innings pitched.
This is career wise. Peak dominance plays a role as well.
Out of that list of contemporaries, Smoltz and Schilling are most worthy. Followed by Mussina, Brown, then Hudson.
