Jon Lester -- Hall of Famer?
#1
Now that he's retired, what do you think? Based on his numbers, it looks like he just misses. But when you factor in his ridiculous postseason record and what he did for two storied franchises (plus the fact that he always seemed to elevate his performance when in a big game), I think you can make a case.

 

Also, a lot of the metrics by which we used to measure pitching performance has gone out the window. Not many pitchers are going to accumulate 200 wins after this group of 30-somethings retire. And nobody is ever going to even approach 300 wins again.

 

Obviously I have a heavy bias, but I'd put him in.
