Santana and Lincecum… and Halladay and Greinke

Looking at this year only, definitely Zack Grienke. Overall, here are my picks (in some kind of an order)

NL
Johan Santana
Brandon Webb
Tim Lincecum
Jake Peavy

AL
Roy Halladay
…Wow, there aren’t any AL Pitchers (besides CC, Beckett, Kazmir, Lee, etc., but I don’t think they’re worthy of this high a ranking)

Those are just starters. Brad Lidge, Mariano Rivera, Francisco Rodriguez, Brian Wilson, Joakim Soria, and Jon Papelbon can really shut down a game.

if your asking for this year then i agree completely

So far this season, Johan Santana and Greinke had been absolutely nasty.

Props to Lincecum, Gallardo, Halladay and Bilingsley.

Lincecum and Greinke

As a Royals fan, I’m obligated to say Greinke. So far this season, he and Santana have been CRAZY dominant. For some reason, the Mets don’t give him much run support (hence the loss to the Marlins). And it’s not like Greinke can go into a game expecting a huge lead. The Royals are a pitching team this year (best ERA in the AL), not a power team. They’ve been playing small ball pretty well lately, though.

Short version: Greinke and Santana

AL
Roy Halladay
Josh Beckett(when healthy)

Greinke’s been golden this year, but come on, he’s 40-45 with a 4.03 ERA for his career, and that INCLUDES his 6-0 start and his 0.40 ERA for the season! He has a ways to go before he can be considered “the most dominant pitcher” in the AL. Otherwise you’d have to say Cliff Lee because he was rediculous last season.

P.S. Anyone else think that “Kim” is a hotty?

greinke, santana

I would pick the same ones as you
