In response to "He had a 15-year career, it's not like he had a 2 year peak out of 5 mediocre seasons." by musubi

Take out from 97-03, he's Koufax. 6 brilliant seasons.

the problem is with Maddux & Johnson; they also have a 6 year peak of ridiculous stats. Both also back it up with 6 or 7 other years of strong results.

Pedro backs it up with DL-litter stints and limping to the finish line of a career.

85-150 wins more for all 4 of the other options. That's not insignificant at all in baseball.

I'm not arguing Maddux or Johnson, I'm arguing you putting Glavine ahead of Pedro. That's nutty. (nm) - musubi May 28, 11:07 9
- For a career, I prefer guys who were very good for longer time. - Will Hunting May 28, 11:11 4
  - Burned out too quickly? He has 13 seasons that can be considered all-star caliber. And *wins*? This is the problem? - musubi May 28, 11:18 3
    - Pedro's career for all intents was done by age 33. - Will Hunting May 28, 11:21 2
      - It's *wins*, one of the most meaningless conventional pitching stats. (nm) - musubi May 28, 11:22 1

- Will only really likes one stat: wins. That means Glavine has to be before Pedro. -- nm - TFox May 28, 11:10 3
  - Glavine has 1 less Cy Young award. 90 more wins. Same # of rings. - Will Hunting May 28, 11:12 2
    - So, to summarize: less than Pedro, wins, equal to Pedro, wins. - TFox May 28, 11:14 1
      - Well, when arguing about a pitcher's career, 5 full seasons of wins more is a pretty big hurdle to overcome. - Will Hunting May 28, 11:18
