That's four of the five I had along with Kershaw. Now Kershaw hasn't quite matched Ryan's whole career and I doubt he ever catches his longevity and counting stats, but on a per-game basis, Kershaw is clearly better.

Agreed on Kershaw. I just always list that incredible quartet together. I thought those were enough to prove my very obvious point.

that's how I have Kershaw and Baumgartner in my top 10.

I am cool with having guys in the top group with short careers or early in the career. Hence Koufax, who blew out his elbow at age 30 and took several years to learn to control his breaking ball.
