Obvious? I'm not so sure. Less K's, more BB, higher BAA, higher WHIP than Pedro. I'm not knocking Clemens as your choice. He's a great choice, as are a number of guys on this list. I don't think you can honestly call him the 'obvious' choice given the list, only because nobody is the obvious choice.
His ERA is a full run better though. That's more important to me than K's or BAA.
I think the Met fan in you is swaying your opinion.
Clemens is the obvious choice to me, with Dontrelle second
I don't think so, Pedro has clearly been the most dominating pitcher in the NL this year. I mean when you look at his overall stats compared to Clemons he wins in most of the cats. Sure Clemons ERA is unheard of right now, but overall, you gotta go with Pedro....
Clemens gave up his FIRST road RUN two days ago in COL.
He's given up 3 R (not ER)+ only 3 times in 16 starts, no more than 4 R. That is incredible. You can make an argument for Pedro but right now, you'd ahve to give it Clemens.
