We’re in the midst of a lull in the baseball world, as the World Series ended two months ago and it’s yet another few months before the new season begins.

As a result, I like to pass the time by taking a few moments to reflect on the current state of the game. I’ve written many articles of the sort, and today I’d like to pay homage to five of the best pitchers in professional baseball today.

Here are my top five as I see them. Feel free to agree or disagree, and I’d love to see you share your thoughts if you have a different opinion.

Zack Greinke had the best season in baseball for a pitcher last year, but he still needs another great season or two under his belt before he can move up on this list. Still, Greinke is one of the most dangerous pitchers in baseball and has a bright future ahead.

At #4 we have Roy Halladay, who is a consistently reliable baseball pitcher. It is obvious that Halladay will someday be in the Hall of Fame.

Then there’s Chris Carpenter. I don’t know how he does it, but Carpenter is always spectacular. He came back from missing nearly two seasons last year and showed absolutely no signs of rust. In fact, he may have been better than ever before.

The #2 spot goes to Johan Santana. It doesn’t matter that he has not received a Cy Young award since coming on board with the Mets; he consistently contributes to a very good season every year. This is why Santana is at the #2 spot.

And in the #1 spot is Tim Lincecum, who has literally dominated the sport of baseball for two years now. Having an ERA in the twos is outstanding and Lincecum is indeed the top pitcher at getting strikeouts.

Besides sports, this writer additionally frequently publishes information on modern floor lamps and mini pendant lighting.
