    Halladay, Schilling, Smoltz all have the same kind of case, I think. You've let Smoltz in, should probably let the other two in.

    Halladay is in a different generation I think and unlike Schilling or Smoltz was maybe the best pitcher in baseball for his peak.

    Halladay is a HOFer and will benefit of not having any inner circle pitchers playing when he did in their prime. His career was from 98-13 and his 65.2 fWAR is the 2nd best in that time frame (next to Johnson who had retired in 09. Truly a freak).
