Update: Since my last review, Hudson has gone 40-29 with a 3.86 ERA. Thats very good but not great, however, it doesn't eliminate him from Hall of Fame contention in the broad extent of his career. The big issue for him is that he wasn't healthy for all of 2008, and has yet to pitch in 2009. He'll have to come back strong from his injury for a few years to give himself a decent chance.
11/3/2005 - Of Oakland's former big 3, I think Tim Hudson might have the best chance of being a Hall of Famer. At this point he has the sixth best winning percentage of all time. With over 100 wins already and only 29 right now, he should have a high win total if he pitches into his late 30's. Hudson has already been pitching at a Hall of Fame caliber level, and just needs to maintain his strong pitching to get to Cooperstown.
