JAWS is a good compromise metric because it gives equal weight to career and 7 year peak. Pedro great as he was for a time was basically done by age 33. Not much older than Koufax when he shut it down. Even if you discount Clemens as a user, Maddux was still a pretty effective pitcher into his late 30s and maybe even through 40 if memory serves.
