I got to thinking about this question while reading Alan Levy's great bio on Rube Waddell. I began to wonder who in today's pitching ranks resembles Waddell (pitching, not personality wise of course
![]() Waddell = C.C. Sabathia / Randy Johnson Both large, lefty-power pitchers with the capability to blow it by the batter. They also share great breaking balls (but CC and Randy, of course, don't do cartwheels off the mound after striking out the side!) Christy Mathewson = Greg Maddux Not power pitchers by any means, but have perfected the art of pitching. They both could place the ball exactly where they wanted it and strike out their opponents with accuracy, smarts, and finesse. Walter Johnson = ![]() What does the board think about my comparisons? Any other pitchers from the pre-war era that remind you of a current day pitcher? I look forward to your input! |

Physically, Roger Clemens reminds me of Cy Young. Both stocky and durable looking. Not factoring in any enhancements, of course!

Chris Carpenter.
Aaron Harang. Roy Halladay. Roy Oswalt. And after watching him Tuesday night, I'm editing to add CC Sabathia. How dear to my heart was the old-fashioned hurler, who labored all day on the old village green. He did not resemble the up-to-date twirler who pitches four innings and ducks from the scene.
