Maybe Paige belongs in this discussion? B-R (which now has Negro League WAR!) has Satchel Paige listed at 46 WAR in only ~1700 innings. On a per-inning basis he's a bit ahead of Young and a smidgen behind Clemens. Now, of course he didn't pitch as many innings as those guys, but we might want to take into consideration the fact that Negro League seasons were very short.

If we don't want to adjust his stats for the shorter seasons, then DarwinBulldog's list looks pretty good. I think it actually gets more difficult ranking the next five or so. RJ, Matty, Grove all seem to be in a tight scrum together.

FWIW, here's the career bWAR pitching leaderboard:

Young
WaJo
Clemens
Nichols
Alexander
Grove
Seaver
Maddux
Johnson
Matty

Those are all the guys above 100. Niekro and Blyleven are the next two, but they seem to be a clear step down from this group.
