This whole thread is a bit surprising, mostly because I haven't really considered Clemens to be anywhere near the top 5.
I saw him pitch, and saw Pedro pitch, and Pedro was better. Randy Johnson I didn't see pitch but also thought was better.
And old guy Nolan Ryan - who had figured out pitching over just throwing 100... and seemed to pretty regularly pitch a no hitter.
Probably a few others, but not consistently.
Maddux and Glavine - Good reliable guys with good control on teams that were both good and knew how to win. But removed from the Braves? Not so sure. At least you knew they wouldn't beat themselves with walks and lots of bad pitches.
