Kershaw has the lowest ERA of any starter in the live ball era. He has a good case.
Koufax was only great with a super-high mound, expanded strike zone, and Dodger Stadium. Look at his Non-Dodger Stadium stats. He has no case.
Lefty Grove dominated for a long time AFTER B being held or of the majors longer than he should have been. He has a great case.
Steve Carlton won 4 CYAs and was generally awesome. He has a great case.
Randy Johnson put up ridiculous numbers for a long time. 5 CYAs but also tanked half a season to force a trade. He has a great case.
My pick would be Lefty Grove.
