Schilling in the Hall of Fame? Come on now.

Pedro Martinez, Kevin Brown and John Smoltz will have as legitimate a shot at the Hall of Fame when they're done as Schilling, if that tells you something. All of those guys are considered borderline, at best.

EDIT:

The only reason Pedro has more wins than Satchel Paige is because Paige didn't begin pitching in the majors until he was 42 years old. He only went 28-31 in the Majors, but look past all that. With his time in the Negro Leagues, Paige pitched for five decades. And straight up dominated, if I forgot to mention that, considered by everyone to be the best Negro League pitcher ever.

He racked up 64 scoreless innings in a row, longer than Orel Hershiser's recognized 58-inning streak in 1988. 21 straight wins at one point. 31-4 in 1933. Joe DiMaggio called him "the best and fastest pitcher" he'd ever faced.
