Re: Top 5 Pitchers of all time

Top Five I've Seen:
1. Pedro Martinez
2. Randy Johnson
3.Ron Guidry (that '78 season was absolutely dominant)
4. Roger Clemens
5. Greg Maddux

Top Five All Time
1. Pedro Martinez (his prime was Sandy Koufax-like but during the steroid era, absolutely phenomenal talent)
2. Sandy Koufax
3. Walter Johnson
4. Randy Johnson
5. Roger Clemens

I graded the top five I've seen as how I remember them (Ron Guidry for 1978) which is why he is not on my all time list.

Re: Top 5 Pitchers of all time

Why does Steve Carlton constantly get overlooked in these types of lists?

The man one more games than any lefty in the history of the game, is a 300 game winner, 4,000 strikeout pitcher, and a career 3.22 ERA and 1.24 WHIP.

Both Pedro and Carlton won pitching triple crowns, Carlton's numbers far surpass Pedro's, and Pedro is DieHardYankee's #1 pitcher of all-time? I don't see any merit in that.

I do. It depends on how you interpret the question. Pedro at his peak was probably the most ridiculously dominant pitcher of all time.

This is always important to clarify when having these discussions. Are we talking about which pitcher you'd rather have at his peak, or are you talking about which pitcher you'd rather have for their career? If you are asking the first one, Pedro and Sandy are near the top of the list. If you are asking the second one, not so much.
