i voted no. he did have 6 great seasons. i dont think a comparison to koufax is fair, because koufax retired while still a top player. i think the fact that jesus continued 2 play long after his prime really hurys his case. if he would have retired earlier due to injury, i would have voted yes because we would have been left wondering and predicting what his numbers would have looked like. since he remained pitching as a shell of himself, we can not just over look the 2nd half of his career. i think a better comparison would b to tim lincecum n ryan howard. both had 5-6 year runs of dominance but due to injury, the 2nd halves of theor careers have been terrible. neither one of those players sniff the hall of fame. in my opinion jesus burgos does not belong in the hall
