Even Hudson's second best season in 2002 (WAR of 6.9) was better than any single Sabathia season.

As much as it pains me to agree with Packs (who is using WAR in a discussion???!!!) he's got a point. Hudson really was consistently good longer than CC and his peak was higher.
Now Packs, about Corey Dickerson...
