By "our generation" I mean since 1990---- Present.

If I'm missing anyone, please post him.

Some names to consider:
{some of these pitchers are clearly not THE best but I've included them because they are active with 200+ wins and that is a fine career for anyone)

Tom Glavine
Greg Maddux
John Smoltz
Randy Johnson
P.J. Martinez
Mike Mussina (don't laugh he has 250 wins)
Jamie Moyer
David Wells
Curt Shillings
Kenny Rogers

In my opinion it's a toss up between Glavine and Maddux. Glavine won 20 games in a season 5 times. Maddux has also been remarkably consistent and even hada few season with ridiculous ERA's around 1.50 or 1.60

Who's your choice for best pitcher of our generation?
 
Steroids or not you have to put Clemens in there.

Regardless, you could make a case for a few of those guys but from the mid-late 90s, no one was more dominant than Pedro.
 
Santana is younger but he's gotta be on that list.

I would go with Maddux and RJ.............Clemens' current problems taken into account.

Pedro too though was so lethal
 
nobody's been consistently better than Maddux. don't forget his gold gloves, what is it, like 15 in a row?
 
Gotta go with the account. At least you are pretty sure he did it "the right way". Was a thinking pitcher out there, didn't need over power.
 
Pedro Martinez...his career would look so much more complete if he would have just retired already.

Two of my friends were debating about this...stats and some clutch performances considered, Pedro is better than Koufax.

You can't deny Roger's numbers...i'm just not a big fan, and that's pre-mitchell report. "moneymakers right there"

They were filthy. I jumped on the bandwagon back in 1991 and was a fan ever since. Let's not forget Steve Avery. He'd be up there if itwasn't for his injuries. Also, since you're a Braves fan, do you remember Charlie Liebrandt from 1991? The guy threw like 70 mph and won 15 games.

Roger Clemens is a steroid user and won't admit it. I choose Maddux he isn't the hardest throwing pitcher but has over 300 wins.
