C, B, A

I recognize C as Greg Maddux and B as Tom Glavine based on the number of wins. No doubt in my mind that they both deserved to be voted in the first time around. 300 or more wins more or less guarantees election to the HOF.

My guess is you think player A is more deserving than one or both of the others. If so, why? I don't immediately recognize who he is. The stats are similar to the others other than the wide disparity in number of wins. I consider strikeouts and ratio of strikeouts to walks essentially meaningless statistics. It doesn't matter how you get them out as long as you get them out.
