JohnnyHector Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 I don't know, but save for Bard (who hasn't started at the major league level), I'd have every other guy on the list ahead of Joba. Just sayin'... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyCarl40 Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 King Felix and it's not even close. Putting Bard on that list is not really fair, he's a reliever. The rest are starters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jbro22 Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 Didn't want to by my homerism set in and I clicked Joba. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeebers Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 I think Kershaw has the chance to be the best in that group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otter Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 Felix Hernandez is definitely the best of that group. Thankfully the Padres pulled out of a three-way deal that would have sent Felix to the Red Sox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just sayin'... since 2007 (When Joba started) Joba: 2.83 ERA, 13-5, 1.272 WHIP, 157 ERA+ Cain: 3.33 ERA, 9-11, 1.275 WHIP, 132 ERA+ Felix: 3.43 ERA, 35-22, 1.320 WHIP, 125 ERA+ Kershaw: 3.53 ERA, 13-11, 1.373 WHIP, 119 ERA+ you sure????

The Troll Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 I guess Lincecum has already came? Because he's obviously the best pitcher under 25. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otter Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 I guess Lincecum has already came? Because he's obviously the best pitcher under 25. Although he looks like he's 19, he turned 25 in June. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Troll Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 In that case, I vote Kershaw. P.S.: the number of homers on this forum is truly astonishing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PS17 Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 I voted for Hanson. Kid's already an ace. Felix and Cain are very close, Joba slightly behind them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaBrick Wall Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 Gotta be Felix. If he stays healthy, he's got a big paycheck coming in the winter of 2011. He'll be 25, and he's already straight dominant. Joba has definitely shown flashes of what he can be, and when you think about it, no pitcher on this list has been as scrutinized, on every single pitch, on every single game, as Joba has. We've seen more of Joba. We've seen his ups and downs, his successes and his downfalls. But when you break it down, since he began starting last year, he's 11-3 with a 3.38 ERA with 176 Ks in 181 innings. That's pretty good. And he's 23 years old.

SenorGato Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 It feels crazy to not think of Josh Beckett as a young pitcher. That guy is one of the most severely underrated aces in the league. His highest FIP in the past 3 years has been 3.56 in Fenway and the AL East. Plus he's the best big game pitcher in the league. And he's been getting better with age. Greinke's season so far has been absolutely dominant. Dude is a must see for all young pitchers out there. Hit's his spots, and does it easy. He'll be the centerpiece of a damn good Royals team if they play their cards right. Verlander is going to age really, really well. Might have a couple Curt Schilling/dare I say Clemens-esque years in him (relative to league) as he hits his late 20's. I really hope the Tigers contend and he becomes the pitcher I think he can be. Felix and Lincecum are just awesome, but gut says to rank Greink and Verlander 1 and 2 over the next say...10 years. If Felix keeps getting in better shape then he's proooobably getting sick, sick money and holds the BPIB label. I think/hope he does it, because he's just dominant. He might also have one of those legend seasons in him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InstantClassic Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 Voted Hanson. Would have rather voted Jurjjens. Kris Medlen is going to be a good pitcher too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SenorGato Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 Porcello will be a beast too. I'm not as high on Hanson as others. I think he becomes a Kevin Millwood type ace rather than an "omg" type ace. More like a very good #2. If I could pick one guy to last it's Felix. I almost wanted to say Greinke.
