Man what a tough poll..pretty much impossible to choose from these guys. I went with deadballers Cy Young Big Train then Koufax and Ryan. But man Matthewson Maddux Pedro Randy every single person on this list is insane

 

[Anthony K.]

Gibby, Big Train, Mathewson and Pedro for me.

SP1 - Koufax (LHP)
SP2 - Gibson (RHP)
SP3 - Randy Johnson (LHP)

Bump for votes.

 

[Mozzie22]

The fact that Pedro is running fourth makes me sad.

 

[bigpapiMA32]

I went Gibson, the two Johnsons, and Martinez. Really hope Pedro can make it in. In his prime, simply untouchable.

 

[jcmint]

i was thinking someone was missing. Tom Terrific.

We agree.

So close.

 

[leatherman]

So close.

I think you might need to name Gibson and the Johnson brothers to the roster, and do one more list for the 4th (and maybe even 5th) spot in the rotation. Kind of like spring training!

 

[leatherman]

I just ran the numbers on Gibson's 1968 season: He was 0-9 with a 2.24 in the 12 (of 34) starts in which he did not receive a victory (100 2/3 IP). He was 22-0 with a 0.57 ERA in his 22 wins (204 IP, 13 shutouts).

How did Dylan Bundy not make the poll?
