This may sound a little preposterous, but let's consider the idea: Does Jake Arrieta have any chance at making the Hall of Fame?
It sounds preposterous because Arrieta is already 30 years old, has just 64 career wins, and has had exactly one Hall of Fame-caliber season. He's too old, it would seem, to start a run at Cooperstown. Plus, many pitchers have pitched at a level Arrieta did in 2015, at least for one season: Dwight Gooden, Kevin Appier, Bret Saberhagen, Ron Guidry, Jose Rijo, Jon Matlack, Vida Blue. All had one season of at least 8.
