I voted no but now that I think about it I would change that to be yes if he were to get to 300 wins. It will take 3 years to get there and I am not sure he has three years left in his arm. He would have to pitch until he was 51 to get to 300 wins.
He is an interesting pitcher to say the least. He did not start winning double-digits until he was 33 years old and his best seasons were at age 38 and 40. Up to age 30 he was only 34-54. That would make him 234-152 after age 30 and 104-81 after age 40. Not many pitchers get 200 wins after age 30, fewer get 100 wins in their 40's.
If he holds on and gets 300 he should go in. I think the only reason he is pitching now is because he was not used that much when he was young. I believe a pitcher has only so many innings in his arm and Moyer just has not hit his limit yet. I am pulling for the guy to get 300 wins, and pitching past his 50th birthday. If he only were not injured and missed the last season he would be some where near 280 wins and then we would be talking about him getting his 300 wins in two years instead of the talk of him pitching for 3 more years to get a shot at 300. One thing is for certain. There has never been such a mediocre pitcher to last as long as Moyer. The more I look at his stats the more I feel that he could make the Hall.
