Schilling was a good pitcher throughout his career but he comes up short of HOF caliber.

No, but on the other hand, Bruce Sutter and Phil Rizzuto did, so why not put him in too!

l wish he wouldn't, but he will. His ketchup stained sock is already there, he might as well too. At his induction speech, he will probably say that he does not think he is a hero or a special person and will then spend 45 minutes to an hour telling us why he is.

l would say he got a 50-50 chance.

his playoff numbers might get him in, but l just think he does not have enough wins. l mean, he is been to four world series, so he should have more than just 215 wins. Randy Johnson played on far worse teams and almost has 300

It would be kind of silly if Trevor Hoffman made the Hall of Fame and a pitcher as great as Schilling did not even though he says stupid stuff all the time to the media.

Schilling is difficult to evaluate.
Based upon his performances, his stats, he is a moderately reasonable candidate, but far from a compelling one. ''First ballot'' fanatics can cross him off that potential list; ai not gonna happen. If he gets elected by the BBWAA, it is going to take more than half the ballot lifetime. To his credit, he is a better candidate than Morris is.
Where Schilling throws a wrench into the process is that he carries immense narrative value, & narrative value is elusive to capture & assess. His roles in the 2001 Diamondbacks championship and, even higher profile, the 2004 Red Sox championship (the curse-breaker, that one), adds a dimension to his candidacy that few players have & even fewer inductees need. So, today, it is very hard to place Schilling. l think he will, eventually, get in. but he may not.
All that, however, is laced with detail & nuance. The masses prefer a short, snappy version, so ''no way, he is a loudmouth jerk!'' should satisfy those people.
