May 12, 200521 yr It was hard to vote for anyone other than Dontrelle but I did. I voted for Josh Beckett.
May 12, 200521 yr Author just out of curiosity i looked at the stats Dontrelle is 31-17 through 66 starts Josh is 31-28 through 81 starts Prior is 33-17 through 75 starts Rich Harden is 18-13 through 50 starts Jake Peavy is 35-24 through 83 starts
May 12, 200521 yr LOL, win-loss record is one of the worst stats to use, dude. Go with ERA, WHIP, K/BB, K/9IP, anything is better than W-L. It's not a very telling stat at all. At any rate, I went with Peavy because he was absolutely absurd last year.
May 12, 200521 yr Beckett, Huff, Willis too, they'll beat you down and then they're comin for you....... you arrrrrrre, you arrrrrrrrrrre in our house..... something something dont you hear your momma calling for the florida sun, the florida sun this is our house. marlins vs. mets, tuesday on FSN! I wish they still played that commercial .

Does that make him one of the best pitchers in the league? :plain

May 12, 200521 yr It's amazing how you guys get into these semantic arguments. Wins can be an indicator, that doesn't mean they always are, for every example, there's one against, but is it really worth arguing about?
May 12, 200521 yr ok... dude just said Kenny Rogers was one of the best in baseball last year. that's funny
May 12, 200521 yr Author ok... dude just said Kenny Rogers was one of the best in baseball last year. that's funny 771046[/snapback] maybe not one of the best but he sure has been around the block and knows how to pitch, so if u win 18 games you're doing somethin right are you not?
May 12, 200521 yr Isn't Carlos Zambrano under 25? He should be on the list.. I might vote for him.. it's a good cast though. Peavy is awfully tough. Tough call on who to vote for.. I'd probably say Peavy... though I like Zambrano. It's really hard to go against Beckett or DTrain... Prior is amazing too. Tough question.
May 12, 200521 yr i picked dontreele , cause in the long run, it looks like he wil do better than the rest
May 12, 200521 yr I went with Dontrelle based on right now, but my gut still thinks Beckett may have the bigger upside. You can't overlook what he did in the postseason two years ago. These other guys are winning in the regular season, but Beckett dominated in the postseason.
May 12, 200521 yr Beckett, Huff, Willis too, they'll beat you down and then they're comin for you....... you arrrrrrre, you arrrrrrrrrrre in our house..... something something dont you hear your momma calling for the florida sun, the florida sun this is our house. marlins vs. mets, tuesday on FSN!
