Best Pitcher of this Generation

[hardcorecubfan]

Rocket best overall. Maddux has been most consistently good, Pedro was best over shorter time.

 

Pedro shouldn't even be in this group if you go back 20 years, then it would be Eckersly or Schmoltz on this list

Schmoltz being the most versitile.

 

Overall Clemens moist feared

Maddox most frustrating to face.

Lights out good Eckersly.

Pedro has a career ERA+ of 166, Eck's at 116 (including a season in which it was a staggering 606). I can only assume your "Schmoltz" is actually John Smoltz, who sports a 126 for his career and never once as a starter had a good enough season to compare to Pedro's average.

When answering this question, can we just ask ourselves, "If we needed one win who (in their prime) would we want on the mound that day?"

 

My answer would be Rocket with Maddux a close second.

 

Pedro easily with Maddux second. Clemens always seemed to disappear when his team needed him the most. Pedro had so many unbelievable games in his prime that I would have to go to him. Pedro during his prime was flat out untouchable.
