Bigfish I do not know how you can make a statement like that. I believe Pedro is 1st or 2nd in career ERA, right next to Koufax and he is also in the top couple in win %. I am not old enough to see all the great pitchers but there is no doubt he is one of the great pitchers of all time and will be a first ballot hall of famer. Look at these stats.SEASON TEAM W L ERA G GS CG SHO SV SVO IP H R ER HR HBP BB SO
