It's possible he'll win his 3rd Cy this year, and everyone other than Clemens with 3+ Cy's and is eligible is in the HOF (Kershaw has 3 Cy's and it's a good bet he'll eventually make it).
Scherzer's an interesting case since he's 33 and has had probably 7 seasons that can be characterized as 'good,' with 5 of those 7 being 'great.'
The question is how much more will he need to do to be a clear HOF choice. He's got 139 career wins, about 1900 innings and 2100 K's. His career WAR (Baseballreference's version) is at 44, wheras the average HOFer is about 70-75 (although a number are in with 55+ WAR).
