24 Francisco Liriano, Minnesota Twins
23 Wandy Rodriguez, Houston Astros
22 Yovani Gallardo, Milwaukee Brewers
21 Chris Carpenter, St. Louis Cardinals
20 Cole Hamels, Philadelphia Phillies

13 Zack Grienke, Milwaukee Brewers
12 Jered Weaver, Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim
11 David Price, Tampa Bay Rays
10 Ubaldo Jimenez, Colorado Rockies, (27, 6 Great Years Left)
Jimenez got off to a blistering start last season and has tailed off a little bit since then, but he still is capable of tossing a complete game while striking out ten on any given night.
2010: 19-8, 2.88 ERA, 1.15 WHIP, 215 K, 2 Complete Game Shut-Outs
9 Dan Haren, Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, (30, 4 Great Years Left)
When Haren is on, he dominates the strike zone with pin-point control, as good as anyone in baseball. Dan Haren is very underrated, but nonetheless he is an outstanding pitcher.
2010: 12-12, 3.91 ERA, 1.27 WHIP, 216 K, 1.93 2011 ERA
8 Jon Lester, Boston Red Sox, (27, 8 Great Years Left)
Jon Lester, known to be a slow starter, is always one of the best pitchers in baseball by the end of the year. He doesn't blow people away, but Lester seems to simply get the job done.
2010: 19-9, 3.25 ERA, 1.20 WHIP, 225 K, 2.57 Career Postseason ERA
7 Justin Verlander, Detroit Tigers, (28, 7 Great Years Left)
Verlander is fresh off of his second career no-hitter last week, which only proves that he is among the game's elite. Verlander has nasty stuff, sufficed to say.
2010: 18-9, 3.37 ERA, 1.16 WHIP, 219 K, 2 Career No-Hitters
6 C.C. Sabathia, New York Yankees, (30, 5 Great Years Left)
C.C. has proved himself on the biggest stages for the Yankees, and he provides results in the win column.
2010: 21-7, 3.18 ERA, 1.19 WHIP, 197 K, 5-1 postseason with record
5 Josh Johnson, Florida Marlins, (27, 6 Great Years Left)
Johnson is the most underrated pitcher in baseball. Even I don't know exactly what he can do. But I do know that his ERA has been under 2 for the past year, which is ridiculous.
2010: 11-6, 2.30 ERA, 1.11 WHIP, 186 K, 1.64 ERA in 2011
4 Felix Hernandez, Seattle Mariners, (25, 9 Great Years Left)
Although I wasn't all for Hernandez winning the Cy Young last year simply put because he lost 12 games and only won 13, but I still think he is the best pitcher in the American League. He throws hard with control and he is capable of shutting down any lineup in baseball.
2010: 13-12, 2.27 ERA, 1.06 WHIP, 232 K, 6 Complete Games
3 Cliff Lee, Philadelphia Phillies, (32, 5 Great Years Left)
Like his teammate on the Phillies, Cliff Lee is also consistently dominant. He maintains control as well as anyone in the majors and his stuff is simply nasty.
2010: 12-9, 3.18 ERA, 1.00 WHIP, 185 K, 2.13 Career ERA
2 Tim Lincecum, San Francisco Giants, (26, 9 Great Years Left)
The freak might be the most exciting pitcher in baseball and you can definitely make the argument that he is even better than Halladay because he led his team to the World Series, but he still is only at number two right now, with the potential to be number one.
2010: 16-10, 3.43 ERA, 1.27 WHIP, 231 K, 4-1 Postseason Record
1 Roy Halladay, Philadelphia Phillies, (34, 4 Great Years Left)
Consistent dominance are the two words to describe Roy Halladay. He gets it done, night in and night out in dominant fashion, which is why he is still the best pitcher in the MLB.
2010: 21-10, 2.44 ERA, 1.04 WHIP, 219 K, 1 Perfect Game and 1 No-Hitter in 2010
