Where does Pedro fall in the 'Greatest Starters Ever' debate

Where does Pedro fall in the 'Greatest Starters Ever' debate? My friend (a baseball history nut) places Walter Johnson first, and then Clemens, Pedro, Koufax (surprising), and Lefty Grove as his next four.

 

Was interested to see what people on this board thought.
