Brad Radke Hall of Famer?

Question

Does anyone think that Brad Radke should be in the Hall of Fame. He might not have all the numbers but he was on a horrible team for years and he had injuries as well. It is hard to argue against him being on of the best control pitchers over the last 25 years. He hardly walked anybody.

For clarification I wouldn't put him in HOF. But the discussion came up the other day with my buddy and I wanted others opinions. I would say Minnesota Twins HOF but not MLB HOF

Answer 1

Is this a serious question?? He belongs in the Twins Hall of Fame, but not the MLB Hall of Fame. He wasn't even one of the top ten pitchers of his era. That would be Clemens, Maddux, Smoltz, Glavine, Johnson, Pedro, Mussina, Schilling, Rivera, and Hoffman form that list to me. Radke was a good pitcher but didn't do enough to be a HOFer.

Answer 2

You're kidding, right? Please tell us you're kidding.

The single best criterion for any Hall of Fame is that the player was the best of his generation at his position. This never, NEVER, described Brad Radke.

The best that can be said of Brad Radke is that he was a more than serviceable pitcher, but nothing great. Serviceable is fine in a rotation, any rotation, but for the HOF, it simply doesn't cut it.

Answer 3

He is hardly an HOFer! He had just 4 winning season in out of 12 total! His best ERA for one season was in the mid 3s! His career ERA is 4 1/4! or hgis career, he was only 9 games over even, less than 1 win per season!

Answer 4

I would put Radke in the Hall of not too bad

Answer 5

He wouldn't even belong in Skip Bayliss' "Hall of Very Good" ... Radke was a stinker, a putz, a waste of pitching space. He doesn't deserve to even be mentioned in the same sentence at the words H.O.F.
