The Greatest Right-Handed Pitcher of alltime

[WharfRat]

I went with Clemens by a nose over Johnson. It would have been interesting to see what Clemens could have done in a more pitcher-friendly ballpark, like that which the Train had. Tough choice, though.

I'd take Gibson and Maddux over Kid Nichols.

I guess I could see not ranking Nichols real high, especially if you didn't have a ton of faith in the pre-modern era pitchers. If you dropped Young, Brown, and Nichols who all played a large amount of their careers before the turn of the century off the list there are still 10 left. Who comes off next?

And these are just the near no-doubters that outperformed Gibson. There are still a ton of guys who are right at the same level as Gibson but not fairly obviously better. Spahn, Feller, Carlton, Hubbell, Palmer, Walsh, Roberts, Marichal, and Dean are all right in that same class as Gibson.

After the top 10-15 it gets kinda murky. I would probably put aound 20. And that is if im not including the Negor Leaguers. He drops down another 3-5 spots if you include guys like Satchel Paige, Smokey Joe Williams, and Martin Dihigo.

I think that Walter Johnson was the best by a mile. But if you were looking for a modern righthanded pitcher,i'd have to say Clemens

I still go with Walter Johnson, but Greg Maddux seems like a better choice to me now than he did when i first read this thread.

It has to be because people refuse to look at 1969 as a whole and just like to focus on the individual numbers.

Johan Santana is the obvious answer. He's a natural righty.

It's a shame that he isn't even the best pitcher in New York anymore.

Now now, the best pitcher, 3B, and SS in NY all reside in Queens, and deep down, you know it.
