"Clutch" factored back in, and Glavine has a .583 W%, with near 300 wins again.

Smoltz could edge him out if he sticks around a little more. Brown, Schilling and Smoltz had several dominating years in succession - Mussina and Glavine had a string of solid years but you'd be hard pressed to find more than one truly dominating year, if that.

But come on.... 1150 innings difference... If you were a GM, would you really throw the innings "out the window"? I know that Schilling has the best seasons. But he also pitched a lot less innings, and those innings have value. Remember you are substituting that 1150 innings difference with a replecement level player. And that 7 ERA+ advantage that Schilling has over Glavine, dissapears. I think we undervalue the worth of being there, every 5 starts, year after year. Glavine – 4409 innings ERA 118+

Schilling – 3261 Innings ERA 127+

Again, not saying he should, but he will. Also, Pettite is going to get major props for his 18-7 postseason record. Again, not saying he should, but he will.

I'm saying that the public and the media don't understand that, and he'll get more support than Brown. I know Pettite isn’t as good.

His career win loss record is 213 - 122. Good winning percentage, but not very good overall totals. His effective win loss record is 178-141, not very good.
