You're picking the 40 current major leaguers who will make it to the Hall of Fame. Today, you listed the "easier ones": the top 20.
Not in the top 20:
Pedro Martinez
In the top 20:
Tom Glavine
John Smoltz
Miguel Cabrera (!)
Sammy Sosa
Plus, you say that Mike Mussina deserves to make it but probably won't.
Let's make this quick:
Tom Glavine career ERA+: 121
John Smoltz career ERA+: 125
Pedro Martinez career ERA+: 167
Miguel Cabrera's current age: 22
Number of seasons Sammy Sosa has been below league average in OBP: 7
Pedro is the greatest pitcher of our era not named Roger Clemens. And outlandish longevity aside, even that is debatable.
