Not neccessarily going by their record......
Who's the best pitcher in Baseball this year?
Halladay has my vote after coming back from stomach surgery yesterday

The best starting pitcher has to be Jake Peavy. The best reliever has been Francisco Cordero.

Wake up! Johan Santana has been the best pitcher for the last 3 years. Witness 2 Cy Young awards. Constantly leads the league in innings and strikeouts and with a stellar ERA and K/W ratio. Nobody can touch him.
Santana, 6-4, 3.21 ERA
Peavy, 7-1, 1.68 ERA
Without question, Peavy has been better.
Originally posted by rwingettWe'll look back at the end of the year to see who's best. You wouldn't trade Santana to get Peavy unless you're a fool.

Originally posted by badmoonBah, Santana is worthless. The Twins should trade him to the Tigers. We could part with Mike Maroth, or Todd Jones, I suppose. That sounds like a fair trade to me.

Originally posted by rwingettYou must be joking. Jake Peavy is good but Santana is great. There's no way Peavy will keep that ridiculously low ERA all year. Plus, Peavy's run support is much greater than Santana's, whose run support seems to be perpetually low (not that that stops him from winning a ton of games every year).

2nd to Santana is Halladay.
Originally posted by darvlayYou, like Badmoon, seem to have a problem with your reading skills. The question isn't who was the best pitcher in recent years, or who will be the best pitcher in the future, but who is the best pitcher this year. Perhaps Peavy won't be able to keep up his torrid pace, as you contend, but that is all conjecture at this point. The fact is that Peavy's stats are better at the moment. Therefore Peavy is the better pitcher. I fail to see how this simple point can be contested at all. Perhaps its that you Canadians are just a naturally garrulous lot.
