I think a pretty good case could be made for the Rocket. If nothing else, I'd easily put him in the top 5 all time.

How can Rocket be on the top 5 all time and Randy Johnson not even make the honorable mention? Similar ERA+(143 to 142), lower WHIP, better K/BB and K/9.

Ack, honerable mention was not meant to be complete, heck I'm sure I missed a lot of guys pre WWII. However you're right, Randy should be on there but the Rocket is better.
