January 29, 200521 yr Hmm...doesn't Rogers Hornsby look somewhat like Ted Williams? Does to me, just my opinion..
January 31, 200521 yr Author Hank Aaron and Barry Bonds have to be there... c'mon. 673365[/snapback] Neither are the best at their positions. Plus this isnt up to me.
February 2, 200521 yr you should only have two RHP and two LHP. Also Pudge should be in a Rangers uniform while Slappy should be in a Mariners uniform
February 3, 200521 yr That rotation and lineup so far is amazing. 675599[/snapback] i think thats the point

February 3, 200521 yr Nolan Ryan? He was a fine pitcher, but damn... Clemens and Maddux are WAY better.

February 3, 200521 yr I would definitely take Clemens and Maddux over Seaver. Just look at their winning % and their ERAs compared to the league average. Seaver's ERA would be above 3.00 for sure, if he played during the 90s. I'd take Seaver over Pedro, at this point, though. I don't know who I'd choose between Pedro and Nolan. I don't think there's any question that Pedro during his 6 years of dominance was a better pitcher than Nolan Ryan ever was...but I don't know if that makes up for Nolan's longevity. He was very good for a VERY long time.
February 4, 200521 yr Having had the opportunity to see all those guys pitch in thier primes (Clemens, Maddux, Seaver, Ryan, and Pedro,) I would take Seaver as my #1 out of that group. I really don't think you could go wrong with any of them, but Seaver would be my pick. Out of that group, Maddux is the guy with a completely different approach, a complete thinker. The rest of them commanded your attention because they crowded you inside so hard. But Seaver was also a thinker, so you combine those two great skills to pitching. For me, Pedro ranks last in that group. But oh what a group to rank last in.

Rob Neyer wrote on a rticle no long ago about the greatest pitchers in baseball history and statistically speaking, Seaver is the best right handed starter of the post war era 676381[/snapback] Neyer is often times wrong, and as any sportswriter needs to write BS to catch the eye of someone... http://www.baseball-reference.com/leaders/...us_career.shtml Pedro is so much better any day of the week during his prime, it's ridiculous Clemens, and Maddux both have HUGE advantages in adjusted ERA over Seaver. He had 311 wins, Clemens already has 328 and this while pitching in an era in which it is more difficult to obtain wins. Maddux will end up with more wins as well, he already has 305 and may perhaps be the last member or one of the last to get 300 wins. Seaver doesn't have the quantity or the quality of Clemens and Maddux and Pedro's quality is so much better he can retire now being regarded as a better pitcher than Seaver.
