7. Randy Johnson
8. Warren Spahn
9. Nolan Ryan (yes this low)
10. Lefty Grove


is this a good list or should gibson or others be on it

Answer
You could argue endlessly about this question. What makes a great pitcher? Wins? ERA? Combination of things? This list is as good as any, Matt. I think if you asked any knowledgable baseball fan, you would get a different list from all of them.
