No, I didn't make this thread after tonight, but this is a question that's been nipping at me for a while now.
I have a buddy whom lives in Chicago, this guy tells me how Mark Beuhrle is the greatest thing since sliced bread, and he deserves to go in the Hall of Fame no question. But I told him, that I don't think he will, he has the longevity, but he was never elite, he brings up the perfect game, no hitter, world series championship, yeah, yeah, yeah. (He's not real big on statistics) I brought up Hersheiser, whom isn't in the Hall, but has got basically the same "mystique" as Beuhrle does, and unlike Mark, has a stellar postseason resumé, which goes well with HoF voters. Plus, many mediocre pitchers have pitched no-hitters and perfect games.
I know fangraphs underrates him pretty hard, he's proven to outperform his DIPS (he's got a career WAR of 47 on FG) but BRef has him at a career WAR of 58, in Beuhrle's case I'd put more stock in BRef's eval over FG's. But still, it's below what I'd consider Hall worthy, (even if that term makes me cringe), I'm almost certain he doesn't, but does anyone else think Beuhrle has a shot?
