With wins being such an arbitrary statistic, what would be the best guild lines for a HOF pitcher. 10 year run of dominance? Era under 3, WAR ? Let me know what you guys think.

...and a mere six years gives you Koufax in the HOF.
Oh but those 6 years.
27 CG in back-to-back seasons?
Imagine if he didn't get that "arthritis".
The 'what if' game is fun, but career arcs can surprise you. As a recent example, Johan Santana had six pretty awesome seasons, too [different eras, Koufax played on some excellent teams, etc; don't take this as me saying Santana was better].
Are you saying that Johan Santana was better than Sandy Koufax!? :O :O :O

No, he wasn't

What about Lincy? A stretch of 2 Cys in 4 rather dominant years. If he has a couple more above average seasons, is he in on a Koufax theory (short term utter dominance)?
I argue with my fellow sabr losers on whether or not he is a candidate quite often, actually.

I think that the Koufax level dominance is only a ticket to the Hall if the player loses dominance because of injury. If Lincecum cannot return to playing at a high level he will fall into the Doc Gooden category of pitcher.
