Smoltz Wins #200

John Smoltz won his 200th career game tonight. He's now tied for 107th place on the All Time Wins List for Pitchers. Now the question everyone in baseball seems to be asking now - is Smoltzy a Hall of Famer?

1. He has 200 career wins; 196 of his wins were as a starter.
2. He spent 3.5 years of his career in the bullpen where he saved 154 games.
3. When he was a closer he led the majors in saves once, ranked 2nd once, and had 4th most once.
4. He's a 7-time All Star (2 of them as a reliever).
5. He won a Cy Young Award.
6. He has 2,838 career strike outs.
7. He has a career ERA of 3.27.
8. He is 15-4 with a 2.65 ERA and 4 saves in the post season.

John Smoltz is a Hall of Famer. You need not compare him to other Hall of Famers to justify his inclusion. What he has done speaks for itself. Pete Orr is not, however, a Hall of Famer...at least not yet.
