Roy Halladay is the best in the Majors?

Question

Doc Halladay:

-ERA of 2.82

-Eats up innings

-Walks very few

-Has 12 wins even when playing for a bad team

Please don't tell me Duchscherer(or anyone else) is better than him, because he's not.

What do you think?

Answer 1

Is Roy Halladay a good pitcher? Yes.  Is he the best pitcher in baseball?  No.  

I personally think that Tim Lincecum is the best in the league.  Take a look at his stats and he plays on a worse team then the Blue Jays.

Answer 2

jj dat list was so terrible

Answer 3

sad but hes not cuz he is with the blue jays an under 500 team. same goes with volquez and lincecum. So i see it right now today it has to be cc sabathia 3 straight complete games. no one is better right now

Answer 4

You know, usually when someone says this so and so person is the best, i always find a way to reject that.  But this time i must agree.  And I know i will get a lotta feet on this choice, but i truly think Roy Halladay is the best in the Majors rite now.  Him and Santana are nose and nose however.  Roy does eat up a whole lotta innings.  He does walk few and he's been steady for 4-5 years now.  When looking at a pitcher, i dont take strikeouts too seriously because maybe the guy is a groundball pitcher or a flyball pitcher, etc.  So santana will beat halladay in Ks, but ill still take Halladay. HE's always have a great WHIP and this year guess what he is striking out a lot. I draft Halladay every year on my fantasy team, because he's just so clutch.  Many forget he's a former Cy Young too. :)

Answer 5

He's one of my fav pitchers :)

I definitely think that he's one of the best pitchers out there, he has a good career ERA and very consistent :) not to mention a tad underrated.

Answer 6

Maybe he's the best pitcher in the AL and thats being generous.  He is DEFINATELY not the best of both divisions.
