What if it turns out he was hurt these past few years?
Or what say he has a couple 15-7 seasons in his early-mid 30s, with around 1 k/inning, and an era under 3.50?
I mean, if no one was as dominant for those 5-6 years as Koufax, no one was as dominant as Big Time Timmy Jims in those 2-3 years.
There is no doubt that Timmy 2 times had a stretch of 2 great years & 2 good years, but he went down hill quickly after that. Honestly, I am not sure what the problem is, but at 29 he has plenty of time to turn it around. I agree that if he can get back to form and have a stretch of 4 or 5 good years of pitching, he may get consideration. However, based solely on his 4 year stretch of 2 great years & 2 good years, it's simply not enough.
